infinite-state systems, based on symbolic model checking techniques.

xSAP provides the following main capabilities:

  dynamics

* Automatic model-extension with fault specifications

* Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and generation of Minimal Cut Sets (MCS)
  for dynamic systems, for both the monotonic and non-monotonic case

* Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

* Fault propagation analysis based on Timed Failure Propagation Graphs
  (TFPG)

* Common Cause Analysis (CCA)

xSAP is currently licensed in binary form, for non-commercial or
academic purposes.
