Some principles and techniques for designing safe systems

This paper describes a framework for designing safety-critical systems, in the context of a software safety analysis process that is based on fault tree analysis. This software design process has four steps 1) software design fault tree generation 2) ...

The importance of system safety has intensified in recent years given the ever-growing use of safety-critical systems in avionics, medicine, nuclear energy, and other fields. However, despite the abundance of standards which exist to provide guidance ...

Context: The development of Safety-Critical Systems (SCS) requires an adequate understanding of safety terms to avoid the specification of poor, incomplete or unclear safety requirements. However, there are some misunderstandings, mostly by requirements ...
