About the course
Delivered by the internationally-renowned
Centre for Software Reliability (CSR),
this short one day course provides an introduction to probablistic techniques for assessing the dependability of computer-based systems.
The course is designed for an audience with a software or engineering background, with only a basic knowledge of probability concepts.
How you benefit
The design of dependable systems and the acceptance of these systems for operation requires an assessment of their dependability, and probabilistic modelling is an essential tool for this purpose.
After attending this one day course, participants will be able to:
- Outline the role of probabilistic reasoning and models in achieving and assessing assurance and resilience
- Understand what probabilistic/statistical models means and what the software tools based on these models actually do, in the context of resilience assurance and risk management for computer-based systems.
- Be aware of the need for caution in claims based on probablistic reasoning, and be able to scrutinise claims and arguments made by others for typical weaknesses.li>
