Current Issues in Safety-Critical Systems contains the invited papers
presented at the eleventh annual Safety-critical Systems Symposium, held
in February 2003.
The safety-critical systems domain is rapidly expanding and its industrial
problems are always candidates for academic research. It embraces almost
all industry sectors; current issues in one are commonly appropriate to
others. The Safety-critical System Symposium provides an annual forum for
discussing such issues. The papers contained within this volume cover a
broad range of subjects. They represent a great deal of industrial
experience as well as some academic research. All the papers are linked
by addressing current issues in safety-critical systems: Dependability
Requirements Engineering; Human Error Management; Influences on Risk;
Safety Cases; Reforming the Law; Safety Management and Safety Standards.
