Risk analysis is a key feature in reliability engineering in order to design and build medical devices, smart grids, and internet shops that meet the required dependability standards, we need to assess at design time how dependable these systems are, and take appropriate measures if they are not dependable enough. 

SHOAL was not the first project to develop a robot that mimics the behavior of fish. Unlike the other projects, which are based on a sophisticated robotic platform, the Bayen group from UC Berkley designed a simpler system (see Fig. 23.16). They based their system on a mobile floating sensor network. The sensors were put into a floating device equipped with a cellidar device (smart-phone) which served as the microprocessor. The devices were then scattered in estuarine environments and rivers and were carried by the current trough the area of interest. The data from the...
