SAFECOMP'90 SAFE SECURE RELIABLE COMPUTING 30 October-2 November 1990, Hilton Hotel, Gatwick Airport, UK
Call for Papers In the decade since the first SAFECOMP in 1979 there have been significant changes in the technology and scale of use of computer systems in applications which are safety, security and reliablity related. There is increasing acceptance that computers can be used in life critical applications, provided appropriate technology is used and current guidelines are carefully followed by people with the right training and experience. In the expanding worldwide market for safety related computers SAFECOMP'90, organised by the Safety and Reliability Society, will review the experience of the past decade, consider the guidance now available and identify the skills and technologies required for the 1990s, and into the next century. Papers, in English, are invited which address: • Experience of specifying, creating, operating, and licensing computers in safety, security and reliablity related applications. • Reviews of the available guidelines, and feedback from their use by industry. • Usage of methods and tools for specifying, designing, documenting, analysing, testing and assessing systems dependent on computers for safety, security and reliability. • Building the skills and experience of staff responsible for specifying, developing, assessing, procuring, certifying, operating, insuring and meeting satutory requirements wherever the computer system may be operated. • Public perceptions, legal precedents and professional attitudes as they affect individuals and organisations. 385

PROBABILISTIC SAFETY ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT (PSAM) 4-7 February 1991, Beverly Hills, California, USA
Call for Papers The Society for Risk Analysis is sponsoring an international conference to provide a forum for the presentation of scientific papers covering methodology and applications of system-based approaches to the design and safe operation of technological systems and processes. These include nuclear plants, chemical and petroleum facilities, defense systems, aerospace systems, and the treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes. Technical sessions will be organized on safety management and decision making, risk-based regulation, probabilistic and non-probabilistic models for safety assessment, uncertainty analysis, uncertainties in physical and chemical processes, expert judgment elicitation and use, human reliability, risk-based methods for operator training, computerized operator aids, artificial intelligence in support of safety, software system safety, implications of advances in computer power, natural phenomena, multi-hazard analysis, aging of systems and structures, reliability-based design, accident management, and risk communication. Four copies of a 1000-word summary should be submitted by 6 April 1990 to the General Chairman: Professor George Apostolakis, Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering Department, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90024-1597, USA. For further information, please contact Professor Apostolakis at UCLA, or at telephone number 213-825-1300; Telex 3716012 UCLA LSA; Telefax 213-825-0761.
