Main Features:

    • Specification of requirements (textual specs, temporal logics)

    • Hazards analysis (using STAMP)

    • Specification of architecture and contracts

    • Creation and maintenance of safety case models

My Contribution:

    • Modeling safety models (hazards, safety requirements, STPA, safety cases)

    • Integration of safety and engineering models

    • Automated consistency checks between safety case models and other engineering models
