ABSTRACT:
A method and system are provided for generating a data structure representative of a fault tree for a system. One embodiment of the method includes providing one or more input files comprising a source code description of the fault tree. The source code description has a plurality of statements specifying events and propagations in the fault tree, where a propagation represents a cause and effect linkage between events. The method further includes compiling the input files in source code into the data structure.
