% Describe FMMD

\section{Background:\\ FMMD outline}
|
|
The symptom abstraction process described here, is a core process in the
|
|
%Failure Mode Modular De-Composition
|
|
\fmmdgloss
|
|
FMMD modelling methodology. FMMD builds a hierarchy of failure mode behaviours from the bottom up.
|
|
To start with collections of base components are chosen to form functional~groups, which are analysed
|
|
w.r.t. its failure mode behaviour.
|
|
These functional groups
|
|
can then be treated as components in their own right.
|
|
%
|
|
These higher level, or derived components,
|
|
can be used to build derived components at higher levels of abstraction, and ultimately
|
|
are used to build an FMMD fault model hierarchy of the system modelled.
|
|
%
|
|
Intermediate FMMD structures may be re-used in other designs, and
|
|
re-used in repeated sections of a design (consider a system
|
|
with several safety critical digital inputs, for instance).
