Neues Buch: Funktionale Sicherheit nach ISO 26262

Ursprünglich hätte das Buch “Funktionale Sicherheit nach ISO 26262: Ein Praxisleitfaden zur Umsetzung” schon in 2012 erscheinen sollen. Mit einiger Verzögerung ist es nun am 31. Juli 2013 erschienen und ist damit aktuell eines der sehr wenigen verfügbaren deutschsprachigen Büchern das sich dem Thema funktionaler Sicherheit nach ISO 26262 widmet. Kurzbeschreibung (Quelle Amazon): Dieses Buch …

Causality Checking at Microsoft Research

Stefan Leue, my PhD supervisor, recently visited Microsoft Research in Redmond and gave a lecture on the Causality Checking method we currently develop. Causality Checking will make up a large part of my PhD thesis. A video of the lecture is available online here. Here is the abstract of his talk: I will introduce Causality Checking, a technique …
