ABOUT SAFECOMP
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Since it was established in 1979 by the European Workshop on
Industrial Computer Systems, Technical Committee 7 on Reliability,
Safety and Security (EWICS TC7), SAFECOMP has contributed to the
progress of the state-of-the-art in dependable application of
computers in safety-related and safety-critical systems. SAFECOMP is
an annual event covering the state-of-the-art, experience and new
trends in the areas of safety, security and reliability of critical
computer applications. SAFECOMP provides ample opportunity to
exchange insights and experience on emerging methods, approaches and
practical solutions. It is a one-stream conference without parallel
sessions, allowing easy networking.
