Abstract
We give an overview of the 
(pronounced “safety sharp”) framework for rigorous, model-based analysis of safety-critical systems. We introduce 
’s expressive modeling language based on the 
programming language, showing how 
’s fault modeling and flexible model composition capabilities can be used to model a case study from the transportation sector with multiple design variants. Fully automated formal safety analyses are conducted for the case study using the explicit-state model checker LTSmin. Analysis efficiency is evaluated in comparison with other safety analysis tools and model checkers.
