Abstract
This chapter presents a set of models of multi-version systems and related techniques of diversity level and multi-version systems safety assessment. Spectrum of concepts related to common cause failure (CCF) is expanded, as well as models of multi-version systems (MVS) and multi-version projects (MVP). Approach to metric-probabilistic assessment is proposed and considered in the context of evaluating the software-based and FPGA-based MVS. Direct and indirect estimation of diversity with metrics are considered as parts of system safety or reliability assessment with relevant reliability models. Comparative analysis of the reliability of redundant multi-channel systems of different architectures with the option of diverse components is carried out.
