While several safety metrics and assessment methods have been proposed to evaluate safety-critical systems, most of these methods cannot be used for safety-critical design patterns, due to the fact that a design pattern presents a high-level abstract solution to commonly recurring design problem and it is not related to a specific application or to a specific case. This paper proposes a system of safety recommendations for safety-critical design patterns, which can be used in the assessment of design patterns for safety-critical embedded systems to reflect the severity of failure in the target application. The proposed safety recommendations are based on the safety recommendations of the IEC 61508 standard, and contain additional 3 types of recommendations: weakly not recommend, weakly recommended, and moderately recommended. abstract_translated_lang: eng date: 2009 date_type: published id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00010072 portal_cluster_id: p-ddcs09 portal_order: 02 ppn_swb: 1383574049 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-opus-100727 language: eng bibsort: ARMOUSHASHSAFETYRECO2009 full_text_status: public series: International Workshop on the Design of Dependable Critical Systems volume: 2 citation: Armoush, Ashraf ; Kowalewski, Stefan (2009) Safety Recommendations for Safety-Critical Design Patterns.
