Parameters
Properties
Procedure 1.Model the correct component and check that it has the desired properties. 2.Model relevant faults and introduce them as internal transitions to error states. Check that this fault-affected model is healthy. 3. Introduce into the model the mechanisms for fault detection, error recovery and masking and check that the desired properties are valid for this design.
