by Felix Redmill (Editor), Tom Anderson (Editor)

Overview

Lessons in System Safety contains the full set of invited papers presented at the Eighth Annual Safety-critical Systems Symposium, held in Southampton, February 2000.

The safety-critical systems domain is rapidly expanding, and its industrial problems are always candidates for academic research. It embraces almost all industry sectors, and lessons learned in one are commonly appropriate to others. The Safety-critical Systems Symposium provides an annual forum for discussing such problems, and the papers in this volume, being from both industrial and academic institutions, all offer lessons in system safety.
