Abstract
We have previously proposed a requirements development process, DREP, for dependable systems. In this paper, we draw a parallel between the notions defined in DREP and the elements of idealized fault-tolerant components (IFTCs). We show how the key ideas of IFTCs can be re-interpreted at the requirements engineering level and mapped to DREP concepts.
