Towards a Cross-Domain Software Safety Assurance Process for Embedded Systems
This addresses the problem of increasing safety assessment costs for developers of safety-relevant software in embedded systems, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing techniques.
The paper tackles the growing effort for safety assessment in embedded systems by proposing a cross-domain assurance process that reuses safety analysis techniques and tools across different application domains, aiming to reduce this effort.
In this work, we outline a cross-domain assurance process for safety-relevant software in embedded systems. This process aims to be applied in various different application domains and in conjunction with any development methodology. With this approach we plan to reduce the growing effort for safety assessment in embedded systems by reusing safety analysis techniques and tools for the product development in different domains.
