Product Description

Product Description

Increasingly microcomputers are being used in applications where their correct operation is vital to ensure the safety of the public and the environment: from anti-lock braking systems in automobiles, to fly-by-wire aircraft, to shut-down systems at nuclear power plants. It is, therefore, vital that engineers be aware of the safety implications of the systems they develop.

This book is an introduction to the field of safety-critical computer systems written for any engineer who uses microcomputers within real-time embedded systems. It assumes no prior knowledge of safety, or of any specific computer hardware or programming language.

This text is intended for both engineering and computer science students, and for practising engineers within computer related industries. The approach taken is equally suited to engineers who consider computers from a hardware, software or systems viewpoint.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best overall safety critical systems reference book, 21 Nov 2003
By Rob Hammett (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
As an engineer who has worked on fault tolerant and safety-critical system for my entire career, I find this book to be a good compilation of information of interest to both those entering this field and as a reference for those who practice it. I recommend this book as both an introductory text and as a reference book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very useful safety reference book, 1 Mar 2006
By Peter McFee (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
As a safety professional I have found this book a very usefull source of information on all aspects of safety. It is unusual in that it covers all aspects of the development lifecycle, from requirements and specification, through to service and decommissioning. I would recommend it to all practicing engineers and to students studying this area.
