Hazard analysis for safety-critical systems using SOFL
2013
2013 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence for Engineering Solutions (CIES)
A case study based on an Auto-cruise Control (ACC) system for vehicles is used as an example to illustrate the process. ...
The most important mechanism for improving the safety of a system is to identify the hazard state of the system as it has the potential to cause an unexpected, unplanned or undesired event or a series ...
For this function, there are two safety properties and two hazards. ...

Asynchronous interface specification, analysis and synthesis
1998
Proceedings of the 35th annual conference on Design automation conference - DAC '98
The goal of this tutorial is to ll this gap and to present an overview of one popular systematic design methodology for design of asynchronous interface c ontrollers. ...
Interfaces, by nature, are often asynchronous since they serve for connecting multiple distributed modules agents without common clock. ...

Automatic synthesis of 3D asynchronous state machines
1992
IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design
We present an algorithm for constructing a three-dimensional next-state table, a heuristic for encoding states, and a procedure for generating necessary constraints for exact logic minimization. ...
We estimate the latency (input to output delay) and the cycle time (time required for the circuit to stabilize after the excitation) for all benchmark designs using a 0.8pm CMOS standard cell library. ...
Acknowledgement The authors would like to thank Steve Nowick of Stanford University for generously providing the logic minimizer and many helpful discussions. ...

The pricing of bank payments services
1995
International Journal of Bank Marketing
Such interest-free accounts represent a cost to the consumer; they represent an implicit payment to the bank for services provided. ...
This is one of the hazards of implicit charging: effective costs to the consumer and revenue to the bank vary with the level of interest rates, whereas the costs of supplying current account services are ...

Formalism in Safety Cases

2009
Making Systems Safer
I am grateful to Robin Bloomfield and his colleagues at Adelard and City University for exposing me to some of these topics and sharing their own ongoing investigations. ...
An important choice for this enterprise is the logical system in which to formalize safety case arguments. ...
For example, we may have evidence for software based on testing and on its integrity level, and we will wish to combine these two "legs" to yield a "multi-legged" case, perhaps using BBNs [17] . ...
