Abstract: Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) act as crucial safety barriers for preventing hazardous accidents in the industrial systems. It is therefore of primary importance to study their reliability, i.e. eventually to design probabilistic reliability assessment models. SIS have common behaviors such as the periodic test policies to reveal the dangerous undetected failures. These common behaviors can be captured in models via modeling patterns. By reusing modeling patterns, the modeling process can be simplified and made more efficient.
