SAFECOMP 2018 - 37th International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability and Security

Since it was established in 1979 by the European Workshop on Industrial Computer Systems, Technical Committee 7 on Reliability, Safety and Security (EWICS TC7), SAFECOMP has contributed to the progress of the state-of-the-art in dependable application of computers in safety-related and safety-critical systems.
SAFECOMP is an annual event covering the state-of-the-art, experience and new trends in the areas of safety, security and reliability of critical computer applications.
SAFECOMP provides ample opportunity to exchange insights and experience on emerging methods, approaches and practical solutions. It is a single track conference without parallel sessions, allowing easy networking.
The conference covers all aspects related to the development, assessment, operation and maintenance of safety-related and safety-critical computer systems. Topics include, but are not limited to:
Fault-tolerant and resilient hardware and software architectures and tools for all concerned topics;
Fault detection and recovery mechanisms;
Distributed and real-time monitoring and control;
Security and privacy protection mechanisms for safety applications;
Safety/security risk assessment;
Model-based analysis, design, and assessment;
