Abstract
In this paper, we describe a concept for the automatic allocation of general Safety Integrity Levels (SILs) to subsystems and components of complex hierarchical networked architectures that deliver sets of safety critical functions. The concept is generic and can be adapted to facilitate the safety engineering approach defined in several standards that employ the concept of integrity or assurance levels including ISO 26262, the emerging automotive safety standard. SIL allocation is facilitated by HiP-HOPS, an automated safety analysis tool, and can be performed in the context of development using EAST-ADL2, an automotive architecture description language. The process rationalizes complex risk allocation and leads to optimal/economic allocation of SILs.

Runtime Monitoring for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems

TL;DR: This thesis presents a suitable runtime monitoring framework for monitoring safety-critical embedded systems with black-box components, and provides an end-to-end framework including proven correct monitoring algorithms, a formal specification language with semi-formal techniques to map the system onto the authors' formal system trace model, and a safety-case pattern example showing the argument that the monitor design can be safely integrated with a target system.
