Enabling safety-informed design decision making through simulation, reasoning and analysis

Creator:: Jensen, David Charles
Abstract:: While many organizations claim to "put safety first," safety is rarely considered early in the design process when system-level architectural decisions are made. Instead, system design follows an abstraction-to-detail process to first meet functional and then performance requirements. Following this process, safety assurance occurs in the later stages of design...
