This volume contains the proceedings of the Fourth Safety-critical Systems Symposium, held in Leeds, UK, 6-8 February 1996. Until recently the importance of human involvement in the development of technology - other than at the direct operational level - was hardly admitted. Now, however, the unreliability of humans is recognised, as is the potential for latent faults to be introduced into systems by all those involved with them, including designers and strategic decision makers. It is vital therefore that the technologies, the various aspects of human factors, and their interaction, are examined if they are to be applied successfully and effectively to safety-critical systems.
The papers in this volume examine new developments in the field, from both an academic and industrial perspecitive. They cover a variety of central topics including: managing risky projects; human issues in the software development process; managing the legal risks in safety-critical systems; impact as a human factor in interactive system design; and system safety through formal domain-specific languages. As a whole they provide an overview of the state of the art in this important field of research.
