Overview

The world-wide market for safe, secure and reliable computer systems is expanding. For many high technology applications, safety is one of the top priorities. Among the industrial and business sectors which are especially concerned with safety are: certification, regulation/licensing, standards making, insurance, military, medical, rail, power, road, shipping, aerospace, process industries, manufacturing and machinery control, water treatment, and mining. ""SAFECOMP '93"" is an opportunity for technical developers, users and legislators to exchange and review their experiences, to consider the best technologies now available, and to identify the skills and technologies required for the future. It focuses on critical computer applications, presenting current research and new trends in computer safety, reliability and security, and providing a platform for technology transfer between academia, industry and research institutions. It is outstanding for its international breadth (authors from 16 different countries), its unique way of combining participants from academia, research and industry, and its wide topical coverage.
