About the session

Design and Development of safety systems have become demanding tasks in recent years owing to increasingly stringent safety requirements and the stricter needs for verification, validation and qualification of systems.

This one-day seminar aims to explore the role and importance of software tools in managing the various phases of safety systems lifecycles – from requirements capture to detailed design and final verification and validation.

The event will include talks from software developers, end-users and consultants, to present the state-of-the-art in tools and techniques currently in use for safety systems engineering and the future challenges for further development, such as integration of tools across lifecycle phases / industries

Focus will be also given to qualification and validation of tools to provide guidance on the selection of toolsets for individual needs. The workshop will benefit developers, integrators and end-users alike to gain insights into the emerging trends in software techniques for functional safety development projects.

    Simon J. Burwood BEng (Hons.), FSaRS RFSE CEng , Director FS Expert ESCSimon’s talk, Software Tools for Managing the Operations & Maintenance Phase of the Functional Safety Lifecycle, Edition 2 of IEC 61511 specifically requires that:The reliability data used when quantifying the effect of random failures shall be credible, traceable, documented, justified and shall be based on field feedback from similar devices used in a similar operating environment.This presentation discusses how software tools can help ensure compliance with this requirement by capturing and, crucially: analysing key operations and maintenance data.
