A new notation CMG for capturing cause-effect conceptual knowledge in software dependability. CMG is particularly robust and suitable for mental knowledge representation. CMG is a visual representation that bridges mental knowledge, natural and mathematical language. CMG possesses excellent representation capability, validity and inter-coder reliability. CMG is a fundamental method for various areas in dependability engineering.
