Abstract: AltaRica 3.0 is an object-oriented modelling language dedicated to probabilistic risk and safety analyses. It is a prominent representative of modelling formalisms supporting the so-called model-based approach in reliability engineering. In this article, we illustrate the key features of the AltaRica 3.0 technology by presenting the implementation of ten very common modelling patterns. We demonstrate in this way the expressive power of the language as well as its elegance and simplicity of use.

Keywords: probabilistic risk and safety assessment; modelling languages; modelling patterns; AltaRica 3.0.
