Suitable rescue path selection is very important to rescue lives and reduce the loss of
disasters, and has been a key issue in the field of disaster response management. In this …

The most important non-functional requirements for dependability of any Embedded Real-
Time Safety Systems are safety, availability and reliability requirements. System architecture …

A system may include a dynamic risk calculation engine (DRCE) system. The DRCE
includes a model library configured to model a system, wherein the model library comprises …

Safety systems are used for automatic shutdown of a plant when the system state tends to
become unsafe. The primary attribute of importance for such systems is the measure of their …

The knowledge about the possible influence of demands on the reliability of safety systems
comes from a long way back in time. In IEC 61508 this has been taken care of by indicating …

This book provides professionals and students with practical guidance for the development
of safety-critical computer-based systems. It covers important aspects ranging from …

In safety critical applications, it is becoming quite common to improve reliability through the
use of quadruplexed, redundant subsystems organized with 2-out-of-4: G (2oo4: G) logic. As …

ABSTRACT Instrumentation & Control (I&C) systems in a reactor provide protection against
unsafe operation during steady-state and transient power operations. Indian reactors …

The development of computer-based systems (CBS) for safety-critical applications is
challenging, and it can even be intimidating for a beginner to figure out the right path to go …

In this chapter, we examine the dependability of a safety system attributed to its architecture.
In order to do so, we resort to an instrumentation and control (I&C) system that facilitates a …
