DIESIS project

The DIESIS project [1] gives the following definition:

Fault trees represent fault sequences of components in which each component is logically decomposed into sub-components (CXX). In a Fault Tree, leaves represent failures of sub-components (fault causes), and the logical nodes are the faults (consequences) of the components.
