Tools and standards for Safety assurance

Meeting Date: 
Monday 10th October 2005

The August Safety Critical Workshop had 2 themes:

  • TOOLS for Safety Assurance (including tools used for security and mission-critical systems)
  • STANDARDS (including updates to MIL-STD 882E, DefAust(5679), UK DefStan 00-56 and IEC 61508)

Kevin Anderson will be discussing these topics and more. 

Knowledge of the tools and standards associated with safety assurance helps to broaden everybody’s perspective of software quality.
