Call for Papers and First Announcement
IFAC/IFIP-Workshop "Safety of Control Computer Systems"
SAFECOMP'89
December 5-7, 1989, Vienna, Austria
SCOPE
SAFECOMP'89 will deal with safety related applications of industrial
computer systems. 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
