Feature Presentation (6:45 P.M.):
"Systems Engineering and Functional Safety: Risk Mitigation in an Increasingly Complex World"
System Safety has drawn much scrutiny in recent years as the push to deliver products in a shorter amount of time and with less effort has increased. Likewise, as our systems increase in complexity, the approaches to address safety risks have become even more critical. System level properties such as safety must be analyzed and the mitigation actions to be implemented and verified. Regardless of industry, the basic analysis types of safety are the same, however, the risks, acceptability, and certifications do vary. This presentation will provide an overview of the this activity, from a systems perspective
