Risk Analysis and Assessment Modeling Language (RAAML) 1.2 RTF — Closed Issues

Open Closed All
Issues resolved by a task force and approved by Board

Issues Descriptions

Fix Editorial Errors

  • Key: RAAML12-26
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Ford Motor Company ( Mr. Kyle Post)
  • Summary:

    Fix editorial errors identified from Architecture Board Review conducted by Harlen Dean.

    • Front page has: http://www.omg.org/spec/RAAML/, I believe now everything should be https and not http. The above link does get redirected to https, so not a major issue.

    • From the official page one and all subsequent pages (page 13 of PDF) the footer is incorrect. It still says: Risk Analysis and Assessment Modeling Langauge (RAAML), v1.0 should be ‘v1.2 Beta’. Also, ‘Language’ is spelled incorrectly.

    • Multiple spelling errors were found:
    Incorrect Correct
    reliabiltiy reliability
    avaliability availability
    probablity probability
    probablity desnity probability density
    distribtuion distribution
    distirbution distribution
    propbability probability
    compelement complement
    paraemter / parameer parameter
    shapre shape

    • In section HomogeneousKofNCalculation, below the figure, it says: k ou tof n system reliability or availability, should be k out of n system reliability or availability

    • Section 7.3.1 and 7.3.2 has Highway Driving Straight as Speed mentioned 3 times, should ‘at speed’.

    RAAML12-2 – Assumption image in SVG zip file looks incorrect.
    Zip file compared to Image in documents ptc-26-04-1

    RAAML12-11 – ProcessModelFlaw is still mentioned in section 10.6.1, page 184 (page 196 of pdf).

ProcessModelFlaw is not marked as Abstract and the name needs to be changed

  • Key: RAAML12-13
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Ford Motor Company ( Mr. Kyle Post)
  • Summary:

    ProcessModelFlaw is not marked as Abstract. It must be abstract consistent with the other RAAML library elements. In addition the name ProcessModelFlaw is causing confusion and should be called ControlFlaw to be consistent with the Undesired Control Action and Control Structure.

Vulnerability is not currently stereotyped as Vulnerability, and is not marked as Abstract,

  • Key: RAAML12-15
  • Status: closed   Implementation work Blocked
  • Source: MITRE ( Ms. Mary Tolbert)
  • Summary:

    The issue is that Vulnerability is not currently stereotyped as Vulnerability, and is not marked as Abstract, which puts it out of alignment with the other RAAML library elements. To resolve this, the ticket calls for stereotyping it as Vulnerability and marking it as abstract. This change should help ensure consistency with Factors and Limitations in the STPA Loss Scenario

  • Reported: RAAML 1.1 — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 13:54 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — RAAML 1.2b1
  • Disposition Summary:

    *Partial resolution to make Vulnerability abstract for 1.2 *

    Per the RAAML RTF 1.2 working meeting it was decided to partially resolve this issue by updating the Vulnerability to be abstract for 1.2 and defer the addition of the Vulnerability stereotype to 1.3. A new issue will be created for the Vulnerability stereotype addition.

Add FHA section to Examples document

  • Key: RAAML12-5
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Boeing ( Mr. David Duran)
  • Summary:

    RAAML contains the ISO 26262 method to support the analysis and requirement specification aspects of Functional Safety. However, ISO 26262 focuses on the automotive industry. To also cover the aerospace sector, the Functional Hazard Assessment (FHA) method according to ARP 4761A should be brought as a method to RAAML and should be properly linked to Core, General, FMEA and ISO 26262 packages.

    The examples document should reflect this change.

  • Reported: RAAML 1.1b1 — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 21:48 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — RAAML 1.2b1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Modify Examples document to include Functional Hazard Assessment (FHA) method

    Add FHA subsection to examples document. See the attached .docx files for content of these new sections.
    The Functional Hazard Assessment (FHA), as described in the ARP 4761A, is a systematic, comprehensive evaluation of the functional decomposition of a system or platform, performed at early stages of the V development process. This assessment identifies and classifies the failure conditions associated with each function. The goal in conducting an FHA is to clearly identify each failure condition along with the rationale for its severity classification. The classification of these failure conditions establishes the safety objectives to be met.
