Title
NetGraph: an object-oriented graphical toolset for risk assessment
Abstract
This article describes NetGraph, an object-oriented toolset for risk assessment applications. There are two significant aspects of NetGraph functionality. Firstly, NetGraph is a graphical knowledge acquisition tool for risk assessment, designed for robust structuring and efficient use of domain knowledge. A component library facility in NetGraph helps the domain expert to store and easily retrieve frequently encountered objects in complex systems. Time spent in designing fault trees is significantly reduced by the help of a cut/paste facility that allows the expert to easily define new fault trees by retrieving subtrees (components) of previously defined fault trees and putting them together. A second aspect of NetGraph is fault tree analysis. Fault trees designed in NetGraph can be used by either experts or operators to analyze fault behavior and probability of complex systems. A hypertext interface is also being developed to provide efficient communication of risks to individuals.
