Then, an illustrative example is introduced to show how, for security related applications, there is the need for tools capable of handling: a) Non Coherent Logic Structures; b) High failure probability values in an exact way. The main features of the new JRC ASTRA package for Fault Tree Analysis are finally illustrated and conclusions for applicability and limitation of FTA to security applications and for new areas of research and development are drawn. }, title = {FT Analysis in Security Related Applications: Challenges and Needs }, url = {}, volume = {}, number = {}, journal = {}, pages = {345-366}, issn = {}, publisher = {Office for Official Publications of the European Communities}, doi = {} }
