Achievement and Assurance of Safety Proceedings of the Third Safety-critical Systems Symposium

Each year there are improvements in safety-critical system technology. These arise both from developments in the contributing technologies, such as safety engineering, software engineering, human factors and risk assessment, and from the adoption or adaptation of appropriate techniques from other do...
