Assessing failure probabilities in safety-critical systems containing software

Software for safety-critical systems must deal with the hazards identified by safety analysis in order to make the system safe, risk-free and fail-safe. Certain faults in critical systems can result in catastrophic consequences such as death, injury or ...

Software for safety-critical systems must deal with the hazards identified by safety analysis in order to make the system safe, risk-free, and fail-safe. Because human lives may be lost and tremendous economic costs may result if the software fails, the ...

When software safety requirements are imposed on legacy safety-critical systems, retrospective safety cases need to be formulated as part of recertifying the systems for further use and risks must be documented and managed to give confidence for reusing ...
