There exists widespread misunderstanding about the nature of computers and how and why they are liable to fail. The present approach to the disclosure or discovery and evaluation of evidence produced by computers in legal proceedings is unsatisfactor

In this paper Peter Bernard Ladkin, Bev Littlewood, Harold Thimbleby and Martyn Thomas CBE consider the condition set out in section 69(1)(b) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE 1984) that reliance on computer evidence should be subjec
The failure history of pre-existing systems can inform a reliability assessment of a new system. Such assessments – consisting of arguments based on evidence from older systems – are attractive and have been used for quite some time for, typicall

We begin by briefly discussing the reasons why claims of probability of non-perfection ( pnp ) may sometimes be useful in reasoning about the reliability of software-based systems for safety-critical applications. We identify two ways in which this a

Our earlier work proposed ways of overcoming some of the difficulties of lack of independence in reliability modeling of 1-out-of-2 software-based systems. Firstly, it is well known that aleatory independence between the failures of two channels A an

Redundancy and diversity have long been used as means to obtain high reliability in critical systems. While it is easy to show that, say, a 1-out-of-2 diverse system will be more reliable than each of its two individual “trains”, assessing the ac

We consider the problem of assessing the reliability of a 1-out-of-2 software-based system, in which failures of the two channels cannot be assumed to be independent with certainty. An informal approach to this problem assesses the channel probabilit

In earlier work, [11] (henceforth LR), an analysis was presented of a 1-out-of-2 software-based system in which one channel was “possibly perfect”. It was shown that, at the aleatory level, the system pfd (probability of failure on demand) could

In recent work, we have argued for a formal treatment of confidence about the claims made in dependability cases for software-based systems. The key idea underlying this work is "the inevitability of uncertainty": It is rarely possible to assert that

In recent years we have become interested in the problem of assessing the probability of perfection of software-based systems which are sufficiently simple that they are "possibly perfect". By "perfection" we mean that the software of interest will n
