Are You Sure Your Software Will Not Kill Anyone? Using software to control potentially unsafe systems requires the use of new software and system engineering approaches.
The article explores computers and their use in the control of safety-critical systems. The author notes that, with few exceptions, software was not directly controlling safety-critical systems until approximately 1980. A diagram is provided of a cyber-human-physical control loop and accidents invol...
