Abstract
This chapter describes an approach to fault tolerant software architecture modelling. The defined model allows to evaluate the probability of an erroneous behaviour of a fault tolerant architecture, on the basis of the intrinsic reliabilities of the system components and of the conditional failure probabilities of the versions.
