Introduction to Safety
Nicholas McGuire
Lanzhou University (China)
In this session basic terminology and concepts of safety related systems
will be covered. The focus is on IEC 61508 (and derivatives) as this is
the predominant safety school in Germany.
- What is functional safety?
- What is a safety related system?
- What is the model behind the functional safety standards?
Following this general introduction a specific focus will be put on the
difference between safety and security - where these two fields overlap
and where they contradict each other. With security gaining importance in
the field of safety related systems this is creating new challenges for
both the safety and the security community.
Finally (if time permits and the audience can handle it) a short outlook
on what strategies for using COTS/FLOSS in safety related systems will be
presented.
