Achieving Safety and Reliability with Computer Systems

Achieving Safety and Reliability with Computer Systems edited by B.K. Daniels.

The safe operation of computer systems, in both their software and hardware continues to be a key issue in many real time applications, when people, environment, investment or goodwill can be at risk. Such applications include the monitoring and control of high energy processes, of nuclear and chemi...
