Abstract
We have presented the mechanisms which transform faults into errors, failures and external consequences. We will now examine a fundamental question: how can faults and errors be expressed by means of mathematical modeling tools and what is the relevance of such models? The answer to this question is important because it affects the means that will be used to prevent, detect, or tolerate faults.
