Abstract

The RAMS analyses are thought to be an engineering based tool whose use entails no theoretical lucubration. To the contrary, many theoretical aspects must be taken into account for RAMS studies to do indeed the job they are supposed to do that is, for RAMS studies to state in a sound way whether or not a given system is “safe/reliable enough”.
