Safety-Critical Systems Journal Compilation Volume 3 (2024) (Safety-Critical Systems eJournal Compilation Volumes)

This book is the annual print compilation volume of all the issues of 2024 of the Journal of the Safety-Critical Systems Club (SCSC). Its mission is to publish high-quality, peer-reviewed articles on the subject of systems safety. When we talk of systems, we mean not only the platforms, but also the people and their procedures that make up the whole. Systems Safety addresses those systems, their components, and the services they are used to provide. This is not a narrow view of system safety, our scope is wide and also includes safety-related topics such as resilience, security, public health and environmental impact.
When the Safety-Critical Systems Club was set up over thirty years ago, its objectives were to raise awareness of safety issues and to facilitate safety technology transfer. To achieve these objectives, the club organised events, such as Seminars and an annual Symposium, and published a newsletter, Safety Systems, three times a year. The Newsletter has, in addition to news, opinion, correspondence, book reviews, and the like, also carried articles discussing current and emerging practices and standards. The length of such articles is limited to about two and a half thousand words, which does not allow an in-depth treatment. It was therefore decided to add a third string to our bow and supplement the events and newsletter with a journal containing longer peer-reviewed papers. The journal is published on-line, as the Safety-Critical Systems eJournal, and comprises two issues a year.
