SAFECOMP

The International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability and Security (SAFECOMP) is an annual event reviewing the state of the art, experiences and new trends in the areas of computer safety, reliability and security. The conference focuses on critical computer applications. It is intended to be a platform for technology transfer between academia, industry and research institutions. Papers are presented on all aspects of computer systems in which safety, reliability and security are important. Industrial sectors include, but are not restricted to medical devices, avionics, space industry, railway and road transportation, process industry, automotive industry, power plants and nuclear power plants. Contributions come from research, industrial applications, experiences and licensing activities.
