This book is for systems designers, implementers, and verifiers who are experienced in general embedded software development, but who are now facing the prospect of delivering a software-based system for a safety-critical application that must satisfy one or more of the international standards.
Chris is a programmer at QNX Software Systems with some 40 years of software development experience. His specialty is
"Sufficiently Dependable Software," which is software that meets its dependability requirements with the minimum development effort
and risk. In particular, he works with software for safety-critical systems that must meet the requirements of international safety
standards such as IEC61508, ISO26262, EN50128 and IEC62304.
