About the Journal

When the Safety-Critical Systems Club (SCSC) was set up thirty years ago, its objectives were to raise awareness of safety issues and to facilitate safety technology transfer.  To achieve these objectives, the club organised events, such as Seminars and an annual Symposium, and published a newsletter, Safety Systems, three times a year.

The Newsletter has, in addition to news, opinion, correspondence, book reviews, and the like, also carried articles discussing current and emerging practices and standards.  The length of such articles is limited to about two and a half thousand words, which does not allow an in-depth treatment.  It has therefore been decided to add a third string to  our bow and supplement the events and newsletter with this journal containing longer papers.

Sources include the outputs of SCSC working groups (https://scsc.uk/g); solicited technical articles and topic reviews; submitted articles on new analysis techniques, discussion of standards, and industrial practice; and guidelines and lessons learned.

The journal will be published here, as the Safety-Critical Systems eJournal, and is to comprise two issues a year.  There will also be an annual print volume of all the issues.
