Abstract
A method and an apparatus for providing a safe operation of a technical system including a plurality of system components. The method includes the steps of: a) providing a safety analysis model matured by knowledge about former implementations of the respective system components in different context, b) whereby system components' dependencies are modeled by connecting inports with outports of the respective system components and/or vice versa, c) whereby at least one or a plurality of such in and/or outports are associated with input failure modes and/or output failure modes, d) characterized in automatically uncovering inconsistencies caused by at least one system component to be integrated in connection with at least another system component whereby the input and/or output failure mode of the system component carries the knowledge from another implementation into the context.
