Abstract

In the literature, many studies have outlined the main existing methods and software tools used for the study and analysis of domino effects. One of these is the MADS–MOSAR model, which provides a schematic representation of the process of domino effects in the form of black boxes. The exploitation of these boxes for the deduction of short and long scenarios is based on the experience of the users of this model. Hence, the difficulty encountered by some practitioners of the model MADS–MOSAR not experienced for the modeling of domino effects. To overcome this difficulty, this paper presents a modeling of black boxes of the MADS–MOSAR model in the form of networks which allow a better exploration of the “Source-Flow-Target” triptych that intervene in the process of domino effects.
