Design patterns illustrate qualities and features that would suit well in current understanding
of safety system development, design and documentation. However, though a number of …

In this paper, we present an analytic evaluation of the Safe Control Systems (SaCS) pattern
language for the development of conceptual safety designs. By a conceptual safety design …

Flight control systems, railway interlocking systems, and nuclear reactor protection systems
are examples of safety critical systems from different industrial domains. A safety critical …

Design patterns provide good solutions to re-occurring problems and several patterns and
methods how to apply them have been documented for safety-critical systems. However …

Pattern-based control systems engineering - using design patterns to document, transfer, and
exploit design knowledge - IEEE Con Page 1 Design is a topic of major interest in engi …

Safety architecture patterns are abstract representations to address faults in the system
architecture. In the current state of practice, the decision of which safety architecture pattern …

The Safe Control Systems (SaCS) method is a pattern-based method supporting the
development of conceptual designs for safety critical systems. A pattern language offers …

Safety is an emerging issue that is constantly gaining more importance in many sectors
including industrial control and machinery applications. Safety is required by laws and …

Common argument approaches exist between safety case developments. Informal reuse of
safety case material already occurs-but in an uncontrolled, unpredictable and potentially …

Abstract Design patterns propose generic solutions to recurring design problems.
Commonly, they present a solution in a well-structured form that facilitates its reuse in a …
