Abstract: Abstract Importance analysis allows to identify vulnerabilities within a system and to quantify criticality (importance) of system components. Importance measures estimate peculiarities of the particular system component influence on a system. New methodology based on logical differential calculus for importance analysis of a multi-state system is discussed. Algorithms for calculation of multi-state system importance measures (IM) are proposed. These algorithms allow to compute traditional IMs as Birnbaum and Fussell-Vesely importance, reliability achievement worth, reliability reduction worth and a new type of IM as dynamic reliability indices.
