Abstract

An essential basis for the development of software for safety-critical systems is to establish high-quality requirements specifications. This paper describes an approach to the incremental and iterative analysis of requirements for safety-critical systems. Safety specifications are developed to ensure that hazard states are avoided and the system’s integrity is maintained even in the presence of failures in system components.

This paper is based on [22, 19, 23].
