Managing Continuous Assurance of Complex Dependable Systems
Authors: Fredrik Warg, Omar Jaradat, Anders Cassel, DeJiu Chen, Negin Nejad, Anders Thorsén and Stig Ursing
Abstract:

The SALIENCE4CAV project has done work on enabling continuous assurance, which aims to ensure safety is maintained throughout the entire lifecycle of a product, system, or service. One key technique is the use of safety contracts and modular assurance cases for systematically managing safety responsibilities and requirements across different stakeholders. This report summarizes outcomes from a workshop where discussions were held around this work. The participants were predominantly working in domains with high dependability requirements, such as automotive. Knowledge, tools, and organizational issues are seen as some key obstacles, but interest is high, and the community realizes the need for enabling continuous assurance.
