Programming language evaluation criteria for safety-critical software in the air domain. (2022)
Conference Proceeding
ASHMORE, R., HOWE, A., CHILTON, R. and FAILY, S. 2022. Programming language evaluation criteria for safety-critical software in the air domain. In Proceedings of the 2022 IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) International symposium on software reliability engineering workshops (ISSREW 2022), 31 October - 3 November 2022, Charlotte, NC, USA. Los Alamitos: IEEE Computer Society [online], pages 230-237. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1109/ISSREW55968.2022.00072

Safety-critical software in the air domain typically conforms to RTCA DO-178C. However, latent failures might arise based on assumptions underpinning the programming language used to write the software, whereas the lack of empirical data may constrai...

Automation and cyber security risks on the railways: the human factors implications. (2022)
Presentation / Conference
THON, E. and FAILY, S. 2022. Automation and cyber security risks on the railways: the human factors implications. Presented at the 2022 International conference on ergonomics and human factors, part one (EHF2022 Online), 11-12 April 2022, [virtual event].

Automation improves rail passenger experience, but may reduce cyber resilience because it fails to adequately account for human factors. Preliminary results from a study on signallers and automation confirms this, but judicious use of modelling tools...

Assessing system of systems information security risk with OASoSIS. (2022)
Journal Article
KI-ARIES, D., FAILY, S., DOGAN, H. and WILLIAMS, C. 2022. Assessing system of systems information security risk with OASoSIS. Computers and security [online], 117, article 102690. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cose.2022.102690

The term System of Systems (SoS) is used to describe the coming together of independent systems, collaborating to achieve a new or higher purpose. However, the SoS concept is often misunderstood within operational environments, providing challenges t... Read More about Assessing system of systems information security risk with OASoSIS..
