A Modeling Approach of System Reliability Based on Statecharts

The paper puts forward a modeling approach of system reliability based on statecharts. Firstly, it analyzes the limitation of current reliability modeling approach, and introduces the elements and characters of statecharts. Then, it sets forth reliability modeling approach of state-independent system and state-dependent system. In the end, it reviews the modeling approach of system reliability based on statecharts. System reliability model based on statecharts is a universal modeling approach which can resolves the system reliability dynamics, depict the system reliability vividly combining the other reliability modeling methods.
