SW development and probabilities !!
• Failure rates computed by probability calculus (for SW ?!)
• Failure rates proven in use (new developments ?)
• Failure rates estimated by test (how long ?, certification)
• Failure rates certified by process assessment (IEC 61508)
Functional Safety Certification
• Technischer Überwachungs-Verein (TÜV), Rheinland
• Sira Certification Service UK (CASS scheme)
(The 61508 Association, UK's Health and Safety Executive (HSE), CASS)
CISS and Functional Safety
• CISS comprises nearly all competences required for safety.
• Development of Safety Critical Systems challenges theoretical/technical competences to their limit.
• There is a need to bridge theory and industrial practice.
• One Ph.D. study (Anders Jørgensen) launched 1. August 03
• Industrial cooperation wanted.
• Case Study for AJ.
• CISS may host/participate in industrial network.
