  • QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT FOR SOFTWARE Safety Integrity Level WITH FUNCTIONAL Safety STANDARDS AND RISK COSTS
    International Journal of Reliability Quality and Safety Engineering, 2014
    Co-Authors: Shigeru Yamada, Takahiro Nishikawa
    Abstract:

    Reliability and Safety for hardware in computer systems have been sufficiently studied in recent years. On the other hand, a Safety-related system (SRS) for software has not been assured with the proper method of calculating the software Safety Integrity Level (SIL) in the functional Safety standards, which is currently determined only by the number of development methods applied to practical Safety-related system (SRSs). In this paper, we discuss quantitative assessment for it by applying quantitative measures based on software reliability growth models (SRGMs) that have been widely and successfully applied to practical software quality management activities. Based on a nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP), the plausible methods of calculating software SIL in the functional Safety standard are proposed. Further, we discuss the quantitative method for assuring software SIL based on the optimal release policies with the test cost during testing-environment and the risk cost after the software products will be released.

  • Quantitative assessment for software Safety Integrity Level with functional Safety standards and cost factors
    Proceedings of 3rd International Conference on Reliability Infocom Technologies and Optimization, 2014
    Co-Authors: Shigeru Yamada
    Abstract:

    A Safety-related system has not been established with the usual method of calculating the software Safety Integrity Level (abbreviated as SIL) in the functional Safety standards, which is determined only by the number of development methods applied to practical Safety-related system (abbreviated as SRSs). In this paper, we discuss quantitative assessment for it by applying reliability measurement based on software reliability growth models (abbreviated as SRGM's) that have been widely and successfully applied to practical software quality management activities. Based on a nonhomogeneous Poisson process (abbreviated as NHPP), the plausible methods of calculating software SIL in the functional Safety standard are proposed. Further, we discuss the quantitative method for assuring software Safety Integrity Level with the optimal release policies.

  • PRDC - A Method of Calculating Safety Integrity Level for IEC 61508 Conformity Software
    2011 IEEE 17th Pacific Rim International Symposium on Dependable Computing, 2011
    Co-Authors: Takaji Fujiwara, Yoshinobu Satoh, Mitsuhiro Kimura, Shigeru Yamada
    Abstract:

    In the functional Safety standard (IEC 61508), development methods and quantitative analytical methods are defined for establishment of Safety-related systems. However, only development methods are recommended to establish the software of Safety-related systems. That is, the Safety Integrity Level for software is determined only by the number of the development methods applied to practical Safety-related system development. This is not reasonable to evaluate the Safety Integrity Level, because various risk factors should be taken up. In this paper, we propose how to calculate the Safety Integrity Level for software. Especially, we propose the calculation method based on software reliability growth models that have been utilized for many years in the large-scale system development.

  • Safety Integrity Level sil versus full quantitative risk value nienaruszalnośc bezpieczenstwa a wartośc ryzyka
    2013
    Co-Authors: Pavel Fuchs, Jaroslav Zajicek
    Abstract:

    Safety management of technical equipment is not possible without risk assessment. Therefore, many standards are available for risk assessment, e.g. ISO 13824:2009 General principles on risk assessment of systems involving structures or ISO/IEC 31010:2009 Risk management – Risk Assessment Techniques. In different industrial sectors risk assessment is fundamental step to determine required Safety Integrity Level (SIL), eventually performance Level (PL), which guarantees risk linked to some equipment on acceptable Level. Standards applied for risk management based on SIL in different industrial sectors differ in methods used for risk evaluation and SIL determination. IEC 61508-5 accepts the use of qualitative, semi-quantitative or quantitative approach for risk evaluation and SIL determination. The standard uses hazardous event severity matrix as an example of qualitative approach for SIL determination, the standard furthermore uses layer of protection analysis (LOPA) as an example of semi-quantitative approach. The standard also uses Risk graph method as an example of both qualitative and semi-quantitative approach. IEC 62061 only presents one semi-quantitative approach for risk evaluation and SIL determination based on combination of probability and severity of consequences. This approach is different from the approach presented in IEC 61508-5. Similarly ISO 13849-1 recommends the use of qualitative method combining probability and severity of consequences for risk evaluation and PL determination, however, distinctly from IEC 61508-5 as well as IEC 62061. All these standards evaluate risk in the first step and in the second step they set Safety systems reliability requirements, which should lower risk onto an acceptable Level. The elemental question is, how exactly these standards evaluate risk in their methods. Another question is what acceptable Level of risk is implicitly hidden in their requirements for choice of SIL and PL. This paper addresses these questions.

  • Safety Integrity Level sil versus full quantitative risk value
    2013
    Co-Authors: Pavel Fuchs, Jaroslav Zajicek
    Abstract:

    Zarządzanie bezpieczenstwem urządzen technicznych nie jest mozliwe bez oceny ryzyka. Dlatego tez istnieje wiele norm związanych z oceną ryzyka, np. ISO 13824:2009 Ogolne zasady dotyczące oceny ryzyka w systemach obejmujących konstrukcje lub ISO/ IEC 31010:2009 Zarządzanie ryzykiem - Techniki oceny ryzyka. W roznych galeziach przemyslu ocena ryzyka jest podstawowym krokiem na drodze do określenia wymaganego poziomu nienaruszalności bezpieczenstwa (SIL), oraz ewentualnie poziomu wydajności (PL), ktory gwarantuje, ze ryzyko w odniesieniu do niektorych urządzen pozostanie na akceptowalnym poziomie. Normy stosowane w zakresie zarządzania ryzykiem w oparciu o SIL w roznych galeziach przemyslu roznią sie jeśli chodzi o metody stosowane do oceny ryzyka i określenia SIL. IEC 61508-5 akceptuje zastosowanie jakościowego, pol-ilościowego lub ilościowego podejścia do oceny ryzyka oraz określenia SIL. Norma ta wykorzystuje macierz ciezkości zdarzen niebezpiecznych jako przyklad podejścia jakościowego do określenia SIL; ponadto, norma wykorzystuje analize warstw zabezpieczen (LOPA) jako przyklad podejścia polilościowego. Norma wykorzystuje rowniez metode wykresu ryzyka jako przyklad podejścia zarowno jakościowego jak i polilościowego. IEC 62061 prezentuje jedno pol-ilościowe podejście do oceny ryzyka i określenia SIL lącząc prawdopodobienstwo i ciezkośc nastepstw. To podejście rozni sie od metody stosowanej w IEC 61508-5. Podobnie ISO 13849-1 zaleca stosowanie metody jakościowej lączącej prawdopodobienstwo i ciezkośc nastepstw dla oceny ryzyka i określenia PL, jednak w sposob odmienny od IEC 61508-5 oraz IEC 62061. Wszystkie powyzsze normy dokonują oceny ryzyka w pierwszym etapie zaś w drugim etapie ustalają one wymagania odnośnie niezawodności systemow bezpieczenstwa, ktore powinny obnizyc ryzyko do akceptowalnego poziomu. Podstawowym pytaniem jest jak dokladnie powyzsze normy dokonują oceny ryzyka przy uzyciu swoich metod. Inną kwestią jest to, jaki dopuszczalny poziom ryzyka jest domyślnie ukryty w ramach ich wymagan dotyczących wyboru SIL i PL. Niniejszy artykul odnosi sie do powyzszych zagadnien.
