  Description     : Probabilistic risk analysis tool

This project aims to build a command line tool for probabilistic risk
analysis.
SCRAM is capable of performing static fault tree analysis,
analysis with common cause failure models,
probability calculations with importance analysis,
and uncertainty analysis with Monte Carlo simulations.

SCRAM input and report files are based on OpenPSA (http://open-psa.org)
Model Exchange Format.
A complementary GUI front-end is under development
for visualization and manipulation of risk analysis models and reports.

To my knowledge, there has not been a tool in Debian
that addresses this issue.
Most risk analysis tools are commercial or institutional (academia)
and not distributed as open source solutions.
I am already providing this package via my Ubuntu PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~rakhimov/+archive/ubuntu/scram

I would like to get the packaging for Debian started
so that users don't need
to be restricted to Ubuntu-based distributions
and have root access to install from the PPA.
Moreover, universities usually have Debian machines
without the root access for students,
so providing this free software for educational purposes
is currently a hassle without an easy installation.

I will definitely need a sponsor and a mentor to package this tool.
The tool is still under active development,
so I guess it can be provided as experimental/unstable.
