With a focus on the design and development phases of safety-critical systems, the book presents theory and methods required to document compliance with IEC 61508 and the associated sector-specific standards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCombining theory and practical applications, \u003ci\u003eReliability of Safety-Critical Systems: Theory and Applications\u003c\/i\u003e implements key safety-related strategies and methods to meet quantitative safety integrity requirements. In addition, the book details a variety of reliability analysis methods that are needed during all stages of a safety-critical system, beginning with specification and design and advancing to operations, maintenance, and modification control. The key categories of safety life-cycle phases are featured, including strategies for the allocation of reliability performance requirements; assessment methods in relation to design; and reliability quantification in relation to operation and maintenance.
