We discuss how to use the obtained profiles to identify where dependability structures and mechanims will likely be the most effective, i.e., how to perform a cost-benefit analysis for dependability. A fault-injection-based method for estimation of the various measures is described and the software of a real embedded control system is profiled to show the type of results obtainable by the analysis framework.",
