Software Safety Certification Primer
As embedded software pervades all aspects of our lives, it is also being deployed into more safety-critical environments. Due to the potential loss of life due to software failure in these systems, safety agencies, responsible for controlling products in these environments, are developing robust methodologies for qualifying software. This document is a brief introduction on this subject.

A Comparison of Bus Architectures for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems
Avionics and control systems for aircraft use distributed, fault-tolerant computer systems to provide safety-critical functions such as flight and engine control. These systems are becoming modular, meaning that they are based on standardized architectures and components, and integrated, meaning that some of the components are shared by different functions of possibly different criticality levels. The modular architectures that support...

Designing safety-critical systems: A Convergence of Technologies
A brief overview of the fields that must be considered when designing safety-critical systems is presented. Proper application of these fields allows a holistic (dependability achieved at all system levels) approach for designing safety-critical systems. The fields to be considered are: application domain, embedded systems, protocol and networks, safety and reliability, real-time, and systems engineering.

OpenGL ES SC Open Standard Embedded Graphics API for Safety Critical Applications
The avionics community has been crying out for several years for a true Open embedded graphics standard that is architected not only to provide them the functionality they need but to address their safety requirements also. OpenGL has become the standard of choice in terms of providing functionality and ubiquitous support across a number of platforms. This choice is not without its pitfalls however, especially as safety and security become...

Safety-Critical Software: Military-COTS DO-178B application feature from CompactPCI Systems
Software plays a critical role in almost every facet of our daily life - from cooking in our kitchens, to driving our cars, to working in our offices. Some of these systems are safety-critical. Failure of software could cause catastrophic consequences for human life. Imagine the antilock brake system (ABS) in your car. A software failure here could render the ABS inoperable at a time when you need it most. For these types of safety-critical...

Validating Java for Safety-Critical Applications
With the real-time extensions, Java can now be used for safety critical systems. It is therefore primordial to be able to guarantee that virtual machine implementations not only conform to the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) but also that efficiency and predictability is up to a certain standard. In particular, if the overhead incurred by RTSJ implementations are beyond a certain threshold, they may not suitable for safety...
