[Om-announce] Book Announcement: Design and Safety Assessment of Critical Systems
*** Apologies for multiple copies *** We are glad to announce the publication of the following book: Design and Safety Assessment of Critical Systems by Marco Bozzano and Adolfo Villafiorita CRC Press (Taylor and Francis Group), November 2010. An introduction to the area of design and verification of safety-critical systems, the book covers traditional notations, techniques, and procedures, including Fault Tree Analysis, FMECA, HAZOP, and Event Tree Analysis, and explains in detail how formal methods can be used to realize such procedures. It looks at the development process of safety-critical systems, and highlights influential management and organizational aspects. Finally, it describes verification and validation techniques and new trends in formal methods for safety and concludes with some widely adopted standards for the certification of safety-critical systems.

IMBSA is the key event in the field of MBSA bringing together the latest developments in model-based engineering, formal techniques, probabilistic analyses and cutting edge optimisation to address hard problems in the design of safe complex systems including software intensive and open cyber-physical systems. The symposium provides a dedicated forum, where state-of-the-art research, leading edge technology and industrial experiences are brought together. The objectives are to present experiences and tools, to share ideas, and to consolidate and grow the community. THE IMBSA APPROACH IMBSA is looking back at a rich tradition of successfully combining research with a high number of industrial contributions. It shows that bridging the gap between basic research and industrial practice can be done effectively through interactive presentation of tools and methods. To take this into account, the conference will feature: - A scientific part, where newest findings are presented by renown scientists - A poster/demo session, in which consolidated research achievements are interactively demonstrated - Presentation of experiences and hot challenges in industrial practice of safety critical systems This way, participants from the industry learn about new tools and techniques, while research groups and spin-off companies can present their achievements to an interested audience. Also industrial contributors and young spin-offs can convince future customers of their tools in this mixed environment. We believe, that this mixture of conventional talks about newest achievements, presentation of practical experiences and interactive learning allows for fruitful discussions, exchange of information as well as future cooperation.
