The 1st IEE International Conference on System Safety
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.
The DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF EXTENDED ABSTRACTS has been extended until Friday 4th November 2006. Make sure your submission reaches the organisers by the deadline.
