Abstract

Safety-Critical Systems (SCS) are becoming more and more present in the daily lives of modern societies, increasing people's dependence on them. Current SCS are strongly based on computational technology; possible failures in the operation of these systems can lead to accidents and endanger human life, as well as to damage the environment and property. SCS are present in many areas such as avionics, automotive systems, industrial plants (chemical, oil & gas, and nuclear), medical devices, railroad control, defense and aerospace systems, among others. Companies that develop SCS must present evidence of their safety before society, in order they can obtain certification and authorization to market their systems. This research project aims to specify, develop and validate a process model for collecting and managing safety evidences in SCS, based on the STAMP model. The conceptual framework of STAMP, coupled with its holistic view of safety, provides adequate rationale that can serve as the basis for a model for the collection and management of SCS evidences. The research methodology for executing this project will involve conducting a systematic literature review, creating and validating a process model to collect and manage safety evidences, and two case studies with companies that have experience in the development of SCS (one company headquartered in Brazil and another based in Sweden).
