Many systems that perform critical missions have to function in hostile environments where operational availability can be affected by internal system failures and external factors such as damage. Traditionally, system dependability has focused on internal causes (e.g., failures), while system survivability has focused on external factors such as damage to the system and these two types of studies tend to be considered separately. However, working on system regeneration in order to improve system availability, implies assessing the impact of both failure and damage to the system. In that way, a unified, multi-step failure/damage modeling approach (Monnin, Senechal, Iung, Lelan, and Garrivet 2006), is proposed.
