Overview

There are many other technical books (and many more technical articles and papers) that address the subject of safety-critical systems. Most, however, are confined to a single speciality area. For example, books have been published on software, on computer hardware, on instrumentation and control, on reliability, on system safety but non - until now - that cohesively tie all these topics together under one cover. This system-oriented book, which is based on the author's years of engineering experience, is the first to show a reader in practical terms how all the components of safety-critical system work and how they are systematically integrated to realize a working system that will be reliable and safe. It is a book that can be read and understood by computer hardware engineers, software developers, programmers, instrumentation and control engineers, reliability engineers, and all others including technical managers - who are involved in the development and use of these modern day systems.
