Fault Diagnosis in Combinational Tree Networks
IEEE Transactions on Computers, 1975In this paper, which is a follow up to [8], we are concerned with the problem of generating minimal experiments to locate and diagnose faults in combinational tree networks. We establish lower bounds on the necessary number of fault-locating tests and show how, in a systematic way, such experiments can be obtained.

On the fault tolerance of fat-trees
1997We examine the reliability properties of ideal fat-trees, a general model used to capture both distance and bandwidth constraints of various classes of fat-tree networks. We allow the edges and the vertices of the network to fail independently with probability f, and show that: (1) Any fat-tree G can always be partitioned into an upper (GH) and a lower

Modularizing and Minimizing Fault Trees
IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 1985The analysis of a fault-tree by \textit{M. O. Locks} [ibid. R-30, 411-415 (1981)] showed that computation could be eased by modularizing the fault- tree. His process involves hand calculation and insight from the analyst. Many computer algorithms for minimizing a fault tree rely on a brute force method which leads to computational buildup.

Fault trees, event trees and success trees
1993Fault-tree analysis was developed by H.A. Watson of the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1961–2 as part of a US Air Force study contract for the Minuteman missile launch control system. Through the years it has proved to be a very valuable tool for the reliability evaluation of complex systems, such as nuclear power stations, chemical plants, wide-body ...

An Alternative Fault-Tree Algebra
IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 1980This paper describes an algebra that complements Boolean algebra and which can be useful for non-coherent systems. This algebra involves substantially less manipulation than Boolean algebras do, and is convenient for describing the exclusive-or operation.
