It is currently quite easy for students or designers/engineers to
find very general books on the various aspects of safety,
reliability and dependability of computer system architectures, and
partial treatments of the elements that comprise an effective
system architecture. It is not so easy to find a single source
reference for all these aspects of system design. However, the
purpose of this book is to present, in a single volume, a full
description of all the constraints (including legal contexts around
performance, reliability norms, etc.) and examples of architectures
from various fields of application, including: railways,
aeronautics, space, automobile and industrial automation.
The content of the book is drawn from the experience of numerous
people who are deeply immersed in the design and delivery (from
conception to test and validation), safety (analysis of safety:
FMEA, HA, etc.) and evaluation of critical systems. The involvement
of real world industrial applications is handled in such as a way
as to avoid problems of confidentiality, and thus allows for the
inclusion of new, useful information (photos, architecture
plans/schematics, real examples).
