Our goals

The TC on systems safety and security assurance would endeavour to foster research, development, publication, training and dissemination of the art and science of systemic safety and security assurance comprising:

  1. Systems Specification & Characterisation
  2. Requirements Specification, Analysis and Target Setting
  3. High Integrity Systems Design
  4. Qualitative and Quantitative Systems Safety and Security Analysis
  5. Systems Modeling and Simulation
  6. Probabilistic Safety and Security Performance Forecasting
  7. Systems Risk and Reward Management focused on Safety & Security Performance
  8. Demonstration of Compliance against Standards and Legal Requirements

The Systems Safety and Security Assurance discipline and the predominately analytical activities therein have a significant synergy with the SMC Society's interests and scope.

What we are doing

  • Organized Principles of Systems Safety & Security workshop in SMC Conference in Hawaii, Oct. 2005.
  • Held a Workshop at International Conference on Transportation Safety & Security in Beijing, May 2007.
  • Planning Special/Invited Sessions at SMC-2007.
  • Planning a TC event during 2007-8.
  • Planning Special Issue for IEEE Trans. on SMC.


Why don't you join us?

Safety and security are two key emergent properties of systems which in the face of increasing complexities and pace of change pose a significant challenge to assure. This TC aims at providing a forum for exchange of ideas and dissemination of best practice in this field. We welcome all Systems and Cybernetics practitioners to join this TC and contribute to these humane goals.
