  abstract = {Intelligent mechatronic systems, such as self-optimizing systems,
	allow an adaptation of the system behavior at runtime based on the
	current situation. To do so, they generally select among several
	pre-defined working points. A common method to determine working
	points for a mechatronic system is to use model-based multiobjective
	optimization. It allows finding compromises among conflicting objectives,
	called objective functions, by adapting parameters. To evaluate the
	system behavior for different parameter sets, a model of the system
	behavior is included in the objective functions and is evaluated
	during each function call. Intelligent mechatronic systems also have
	the ability to adapt their behavior based on their current reliability,
	thus increasing their availability, or on changed safety requirements;
	all of which are summed up by the common term dependability. To allow
	this adaptation, dependability can be considered in multiobjective
	optimization by including dependability-related objective functions.
	However, whereas performance-related objective functions are easily
	found, formulation of dependability-related objective functions is
	highly system-specific and not intuitive, making it complex and error-prone.
	Since each mechatronic system is different, individual failure modes
	have to be taken into account, which need to be found using common
	methods such as Failure-Modes and Effects Analysis or Fault Tree
	Analysis. Using component degradation models, which again are specific
	to the system at hand, the main loading factors can be determined.
	By including these in the model of the system behavior, the relation
	between working point and dependability can be formulated as an objective
	function. In our work, this approach is presented in more detail.
	It is exemplified using an actively actuated single plate dry clutch
	system. Results show that this approach is suitable for formulating
	dependability-related objective functions and that these can be used
	to extend system lifetime by adapting system behavior.},
