Safety-critical systems, by definition those systems whose
failure can cause catastrophic results for people, the environment,
and the economy, are becoming increasingly complex both in their
functionality and their interactions with the environment.
Unfortunately, safety assessments are still largely done manually,
a time-consuming and error-prone process. The growing complexity of
these systems requires an increase in the skill and efficacy of
safety engineers and encourages the adoption of formal and
standardized techniques.
An introduction to the area of design and verification of
safety-critical systems, Design and Safety Assessment of Critical
Systems focuses on safety assessment using formal methods.
Beginning with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of
safety and reliability, it illustrates the pivotal issues of
design, development, and safety assessment of critical systems.
The core of the book covers traditional notations, techniques,
and procedures, including Fault Tree Analysis, FMECA, HAZOP, and
Event Tree Analysis, and explains in detail how formal methods can
be used to realize such procedures. It looks at the development
process of safety-critical systems, and highlights influential
management and organizational aspects. Finally, it describes
verification and validation techniques and new trends in formal
methods for safety and concludes with some widely adopted standards
for the certification of safety-critical systems.
Providing an in-depth and hands-on view of the application of
formal techniques to advanced and critical safety assessments in a
variety of industrial sectors, such as transportation, avionics and
aerospace, and nuclear power, Design and Safety Assessment of
Critical Systems allows anyone with a basic background in
mathematics or computer science to move confidently into this
advanced arena of safety assessment.
