Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) This paper reconstructs a software safety/availability model based on the existing Markovian software availability one. The attention of this paper is directed to the event that the system causes hazardous conditions randomly in operation. In particular, we assume that some of debugging activities contribute to software safety improvement as well. Several quantities for software safety/availability measurement are derived from this model. In particular, we provide a metrics of software safety defined as the probability that the system does not fall into hazardous states at a specified time point. Several numerical illustrations of these measures are also presented.
