Safety & Security Forum 2016
July 6-7, 2016, Hilton Munich Airport

Call for Papers
Deadline for abstract submission: March 11, 2016

Functional safety plays a decisive role in an industry like automobile engineering. Safety-critical systems need to be developed abiding by standards that range from the umbrella IEC 61508 through to more specific norms like  ISO 13849, ISO 26262 or IEC 61511. In Industry 4.0 we subsequently see the networking of machines, production plant, ERP systems, etc, which calls for security in the form of extensive safeguards against sabotage, hacker assaults or espionage. And automobiles too, already the most complex nodes in the IoT, have to be secure against data manipulation.

So functional safety and security are inseparable, neither aspect may be neglected in development. True to that and setting up on our successful Functional Safety forum in recent years, in July 2016 we are for the first time staging a Safety & Security forum. Here experts will look into both topics from the standpoint of industry and the automotive sector, and propose answers to major questions. Papers will range from subjects like hardware and software components through tools and certification to the practical use of secure and safe systems in manufacturing and the automobile.

The forum intends to draw a complete picture of functional safety combined with security, and present clearly structured information both for developers of hardware and software components plus integrators and end-users of functionally safe systems in machine and plant engineering for instance.

Questions discussed will be safety and security in the scenario of in-vehicle networking and car2x communication, and in this framework examination of network architectures, bus systems and multimedia, protocols, system architectures, etc. Questions looked at in the industrial environment should be IT risks, secure data exchange and also safety concepts.

Take part in the event with technical papers, practical examples, hands-on workshops, and reports of experience from design projects. Send us your proposed contribution on subjects like these:
