The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

For computer based safety-critical systems, it is most efficient to consider safety concerns as early as possible during software development in order to ensure that safety problems do not propagate through subsequent phases of development. In this paper, we present an approach for the safety analysis of software specifications that are produced during the requirements analysis. The safety analysis is conducted concurrently with the requirements analysis, and its aim is to assess whether the risk associated with a requirements specification is acceptable.
