The probabilistic approach is based on classical and innovative probabilistic analysis methods. The deterministic approach is based on formal verification methods. Such approaches are applied to the gas turbine control system of ICARO co generative plant, in operation at ENEA CR Casaccia. The main difference between the two approaches, behind the underlining different theories, is that the probabilistic one addresses the control system by itself, as the set of sensors, processing units and actuators, while the deterministic one also includes the behaviour of the equipment under control which interacts with the control system. The final aim of the research, documented in this paper, is to explore an innovative method which put the probabilistic and deterministic approaches in a strong relation to overcome the drawbacks of their isolated, selective and fragmented use which can lead to inconsistencies in the evaluation results.", optnote="exported from refbase (http://mclab.di.uniroma1.it/publications/show.php?record=65), last updated on Thu, 22 Nov 2012 14:59:18 +0100", opturl="http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.79.7674", file=":http://mclab.di.uniroma1.it/publications/papers/papers/Bobbio2001.pdf:PDF" }
