Criticality categories across safety standards in different domains
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a comparative analysis across several industrial domains, of the fundamental notion of safety categories or levels (Safety Integrity Levels, Development Assurance Levels, etc.) underlying the safety framework enforced by safety standards. This work is one of the facets of an in-depth comparison of safety standards across application domains [1], performed by a working group gathering experts from 6 industrial domains (automotive, aviation, industrial automation, nuclear, railway and space), which aims at establishing the bases for more efficient processes and tools to support the development, validation and support to certification of critical embedded systems.

A safety concept for a wind power mixed-criticality embedded system based on multicore partitioning
The development of mixed-criticality systems that integrate applications of different criticality levels (safety, security, real-time and non real-time) can provide multiple benefits such as product cost-size-weight reduction, reliability increase and scalability. However, the integration of applications of different levels of criticality leads to several challenges with respect to safety certi...
متن کاملOn the Safety of Mixed-Criticality Scheduling
A common assumption for scheduling mixedcriticality systems is the degradation of less critical tasks when the system is in the emergency mode; which is entered when critical tasks overrun their expected WCET. In the meanwhile, common safety standards enforce strict safety requirements on all criticality levels. However, the impact of degrading less critical tasks on the overall system safety i...
متن کاملQualifying Software Tools According to ISO 26262
The growing adoption of safety standards in the automotive industry results in an increasing interest in as well as an increasing uncertainty about software tool certification and qualification. With ISO 26262 on the horizon, new tool qualification requirements need to be understood and implemented by automotive software practitioners. This paper summarizes the tool qualification approach of IS...
متن کاملSmart Certification of Mixed Criticality Systems
High integrity applications, such as those performing safety or security critical functions, are usually built to conform to standards such RTCA DO178B [1] or UK Def Stan 00-55 [2]. Typically such standards define ascending levels of criticality each of which requires a different and increasingly onerous level of verification. It is very common to find that real systems contain code of multiple...
متن کاملAutomated Generation of AUTOSAR Description File for Safety-Critical Software Architectures
Automotive embedded systems have become very complex, are strongly integrated, and the safety-criticality of these systems pose new challenges. Distributed system development, short time-to-market intervals, and automotive safety standards (such as ISO 26262) require efficient and consistent product development along the entire development lifecycle. The de-facto industry standard AUTOSAR aims ...
