Such systems are used in transportation, production industry, power plants, medical and emergency systems. New aspects have to be considered by the extension of electronic data interchange for trade (EDI) and computer integrated manufacturing. The objective is to reduce the potential to injure, kill, lose property or cause hazard to environment. It should be noted that for systems with safety and environmental protection the problems of guarantee and product liability are closely related. TOPICS + Planning, Specification, Design and Architecture of safe computer systems + Verification and Licensing of safety related computer systems + Operation and Maintenance of safety related computer systems + Safety related Documentation and Project Management Techniques + Identification, metrics and recognizing weak signals for improving safety + Applications, case studies and experiences + Data on safety related systems and data collection + Measurement of Quality for safety + Standardisation questions + Aspects concerning human and living environment + Artificial Intelligence for safety related applications + Tools and systems approach for achieving safe computer systems DEADLINES + Four copies of the abstract (in English) should be received not later than 31 March 1989. + Notification of preliminary acceptance: 3 May 1989 + Submission of full paper: 30 June 1989 MAILING ADDRESS Austrian Center for Productivity and Efficiency OEPWZ Dkfm.
