Industrial Perspectives of Safety-critical Systems

Sinopse

This volume contains the invited papers presented at the sixth annual Safety-critical Systems Symposium. They cover a broad spectrum of issues affecting safety, from a philosophical appraisal to technology transfer, intelligence and psychological aspects . The papers presented in this volume offer views both of the topics which are considered by industry to be important and of what is going on in industry with respect to them. Understanding these two views can lead to better and swifter technology transfer and more focused research, both of which should be reflected in time, in safer systems. All of the papers address practical issues and offer useful information and advice.
