QuantUM: Safety Analysis of Complex System and Software Architectures

Leave a Comment / Functional Safety, ISO26262, Research, Software Engineering / By

The last few months I had not much time to blog, but today I want to write about a current research project I’m involved in. The QuantUM Approach When developing a safety-critical system it is essential to obtain an assessment of different design alternatives. In particular, an early safety assessment of the architectural design of …
