The large and complicated safety-critical systems today need to keep changing to accommodate ever-changing objectives and environments. Accordingly, runtime analysis for safe reconfiguration or evaluation is currently a hot topic in the field, whereas information acquisition of external environment is crucial for runtime safety analysis. With the rapid development of web services, mobile networks and ubiquitous computing, abundant realtime information of environment is available on the Internet. To integrate these public information into runtime safety analysis of critical systems, this paper brings forward a framework, which could be implemented with open source and cross platform modules and encouragingly, applicable to various safety-critical systems.
Software FMEA is valuable and practically used for embedded software of safety-critical systems. In this paper, a novel method for Software FMEA is presented based on co-analysis of system model and software model. The method is hopeful to detect quantitative and dynamic effects by a targeted software failure. A typical application of the method is provided to illustrate the procedure and the applicable scenarios. In addition, a pattern is refined from the application for further reuse.
