This paper documents a proposed approach using Decision Analysis to aid in the selection of a software architecture intended to replace that of a legacy monolithic system. The new design supports a safety by design methodology, improves code maintenance by making the code base more easily main...

There has been a series of challenges to develop appropriate safety standards and methodologies as technology evolves, to ensure their safe implementation. These challenges, which first arose at the dawn of the industrial revolution, will inevitably continue. New technologies will always seek to for...

This tutorial will be an update to a tutorial I have presented at the 2016, 2017 and 2018 ISSC. Topics presented include:Historical examples of inherently unsafe systems being made safe by the application of design features to mitigate hazardsDiscussion of the unique ways in which electronics and so...
