In this paper, a bibliographical review is presented about the use of Bayesian networks over the last decade on dependability, risk analysis and maintenance. It is shown an increasing trend of the literature and of the application of Bayesian networks in fields related to reliability, safety and maintenance. This trend is due to the benefits that Bayesian networks provide in contrast with other classical methods of dependability analysis such as Markov Chains and Fault Trees. Some of these

This review is based on an extraction of 200 references; the most representative are presented.
