Who Guards the Guardians? — Toward V&V of Health Management Software

(Short Paper)

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 6418))

Introduction

Highly complex and safety-critical systems are not only present in traditional areas such as the aerospace and nuclear power industries, but are also becoming ubiquitous in other areas including the automobile, health care, and the manufacturings industries. Integrated System Health Management (ISHM) systems are being created to detect, diagnose, predict, and potentially mitigate adverse events during the operation of such systems. ISHM systems obtain data from multiple sensors and perform reasoning about the state of health of the system based on data and physical models. Usually, major electromechanical or hydraulic subsystems in aircraft are monitored by an ISHM system.
