Provides an indispensable and thorough description of HAZOP (hazard and operability study) - the most powerful technique for the identification and analysis of hazards, a technique which is unknown in many industries and where it is employed, it often does not fulfil its potential because of incorrect use. It describes HAZOP and explains its efficient and effective use. It is a structured text which first teaches HAZOP, step-by-step, and then provides additional information and guidance on particular problems and applications. It therefore provides a course for those who want to learn the technique and a reference source for practitioners. No only have the authors employed, researched and taught the method, but they have also written a standard on its use. They are therefore the ideal advisers, not only for introducing newcomers to HAZOP, but also for guiding practitioners through its more advanced aspects. Key features of this book include: * Detailed discussion and practical examples of the applicatin of HAZOP to software-based systems; * An explanation of the overall context of HAZOP in safety analysis * A method of applying HAZOP to the human components of systems. This will be a crucial teaching and reference text on a safety technique which is used in a wide range of industries, including military, process, rail and other transport, electricity generation, and medical. It explains HAZOP and its application to software-based systems for managers, engineers and safety personnel in all industries.

Safety-critical systems are found in almost every sector of industry. Faults in these systems will result in a breach of safe operating conditions and exposure to the possible risk of major loss of life or catastrophic damage to plant, equipment or the environment. An understanding of the basis for the functioning of these systems is therefore vital to all involved in their operation. In particular, the interaction of the disciplines of software engineering, safety engineering, human factors and safety management is a total process whose entirety is not widely understood by those working in any of the individual fields. This book will redress that problem by providing an introduction to each constituent part with a cohesive structure and overview of the whole subject. It will be of interest to engineers, managers, students and anyone with responsibilities in these areas.

Since 1993 the Safety-Critical Systems Club has hosted the Safety-critical Systems Symposium (SSS) each February. Every year the programme has reflected what is then of particular interest to the safety community - in ways of working, in analysis techniques, in technology, in standards, and in research work that is on the point of being useful to practitioners. This book presents the papers delivered at the landmark fifteenth SSS. A subject that is mostly neglected by safety practitioners but which, if studied more carefully, could lead to both technical and economic efficiencies, as well as more effective protection, is the relationship between safety and security. The management of both is based on risk analysis and there are indications that the analyses could effectively be combined. The Symposium has offered papers on this subject in the past, and this year there are three. Continuing the trend of recent years, there are five papers on the development of safety cases, which are intended to demonstrate, or claim, the achievement of safety - in defined applications and under given circumstances. Some of the papers report on experiences in the field, but others venture to propose new ways in which safety cases may be used or extended.

This work contains the invited papers presented at the ninth annual Safety-critical Systems Symposium, held in Bristol, February 2001. For some time, it has been recognised that technical issues are only one side of the safety coin. The other, often dominant feature, is active, informed and committed management. An understanding of risk, emphasis on education and the use of language, attention to learning lessons from both research and other industry sectors, and the development of the appropriate staff competences, are all aspects of safety management. The papers contained within this volume cover a broad range of subjects, but all have the common link of safety management. They present a great deal of industrial experience, as well as some recent academic research.

Safety-critical systems, in the sense of software-based systems used in safety critical applications, are 'high-tech'. They are products of modern technology. Their effective, efficient and safe functioning depends not only on the devel opment of the right technologies but also on the right use of them. The safety of a system may be compromised not only by faults in the system but also by the use in the first place of an unreliable, unsafe, or unproved technology in its development. The key to the development and use of both technologies and systems is the human being. Until recently, the importance of human involvement, other than at the direct operational level, was hardly admitted. But now the unreliability of humans is recognised, as is the potential for latent faults to be introduced into systems at any point in their life cycles, by all who are in volved with them, including designers and strategic decision makers.

Dependability has always been an vital attribute of operational systems, regardless of whether they are highly-specialized (like electricity generating plants) or more general-purpose (like domestic appliances). This volume provides an overview of the topic, concentrating on dependability as a life-cycle management issue rather than as a technical subject. Specifically avoiding technical language and complex mathematics, it is designed to be accessible to readers at all levels.

The field of safety-critical systems covers computer systems in hazardous applications. As traditional means of control such as relays are replaced by software, the field is rapidly expanding and increasing in importance. It is formed by the convergence of software engineering and safety engineering, and its criticality emphasizes the importance of a number of other disciplines, such as human factors, management, psychology, sociology and quality. This volume contains the invited papers presented at the fifth annual Safety-Critical Systems Symposium. They cover a broad spectrum of issues affecting safety, from a philosophical appraisal to technology transfer, intelligence and psychological aspects. They touch on a number of industry sectors, but are restricted to none, for the essence of the event is the transfer of lessons and technologies between sectors. All the appers address practical issues and offer useful information and advice.

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.
