The System Safety Conference
System safety engineering (SSE) is the discipline concerned with achieving and assuring safety of systems, including their hardware, software and human elements. It encompasses, but is broader than, Functional Safety as it is concerned with hazards arising from physical causes, e.g. toxic materials and uncontrolled energy sources, as well as functional failures.
There are many challenges for SSE caused by changes in technology, increasing complexity and inter-working of systems, and reductions in the acceptability of risk to the public. SSE has to deal with these challenges ? both societal and engineering ? to ensure that deployed systems are acceptably safe, and remain so throughout their life.
This conference is intended to address the broad range of concerns in system safety, across a wide range of disciplines and application domains.
