Industrial Perspectives of Safety-critical Systems

This volume contains the invited papers presented at the Sixth Annual Safety-Critical Systems Symposium. They cover a range of issues affecting safety, from a philosophical appraisal to technology transfer, intelligence and psychological aspects. They offer views both of the topics which are considered by industry to be important and of what is going on in industry with respect to them. Understanding these two views should lead to better and swifter technology transfer and more focused research, both of which should be reflected in time, in safer systems. All of the papers address practical issues and offer information and advice.
