Exploring the impact of different cost heuristics in the allocation of safety integrity levels (2014)
Journal Article
Azevedo, L. S., Parker, D., Papadopoulos, Y., Walker, M., Sorokos, I., & Araújo, R. E. (2014). Exploring the impact of different cost heuristics in the allocation of safety integrity levels. Lecture notes in computer science, 8822, 70-81. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-12214-4_6

Contemporary safety standards prescribe processes in which system safety requirements, captured early and expressed in the form of Safety Integrity Levels (SILs), are iteratively allocated to architectural elements. Different SILs reflect different r... Read More about Exploring the impact of different cost heuristics in the allocation of safety integrity levels.
