I'm pleased to announce that after 32 months of hard work and cross discipline/cross sector discussions, the IET has published the Code of Practice: Cyber Security and Safety. This work was supported by NCSC and is available for free download from the IET website.
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions the two seminars planned for November and December and the Safety-critical Systems Symposium in February next year are now going to be held as on-line events. The events will be held on the same dates as planned but may have changes to the programmes. Details on the revised format, programme and booking arrangeements for these events will be added to the event pages as they become available. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as required.
The Safety of Autonomous Systems Working Group (SASWG) have produced a publicity leaflet (flyer) with information about the working group and links to latest guidance document.
The SCSC ACWG has established a sub-working group to review the Goal Structuring Notation (GSN) standard [scsc-141B].
The activity will address updates to the modular notation, add notation for Argument Claim Points (ACP), add information on the relationship between GSN and SACM, consider notation additions for Dialectic arguments, and perform a general review.
This is an opportunity to address any user feedback on the current version and add topics for consideration in future versions. Please provide any feedback using the GSN Forum
The Safety Critical Systems Symposium 2021 will be held from 9-11th February 2021 in Bristol, UK.
An invitation to submit an abstract has been published
The Seminar Safe Use of Multi-Core and Manycore Processors which was scheduled for April is now planned for September. The Seminar New Safety Analysis Techniques has been postponed until later in the year. We will continue to monitor the situation and update the status as required.
