Need and concept of software quality evaluation using artificial neural network (ANN) is described in the article. Architecture and structure of an artificial neural network of quality evaluation have been developed. The process of ANN training and testing was investigated. Research of ANN functioning results was conducted. ANN on the basis of design stage metrics analysis allows to make a comparative analysis of different projects and choose the best one of the characteristics of complexity and quality.

The aim is reducing IEC 61508 certification effort for safety-related applications. Therefore, an object-oriented middleware has been implemented which, once being SIL3-certified, would allow transferring safety-related aspects from the application into an already-certified code layer. Safety-related applications using this middleware then could be written as straightforward as non-safety-related code. The SIL3 middleware is designed for an 8051-based microcontroller. Because of the 8-bit CPU architecture, several limitations have been encountered. These issues are explained in this paper, and solutions are proposed. The middleware will be used on the multi-more safety chip. SIL3 certified multi-core architecture for safety-related applications is described. Also, the SIL3 middleware architecture is given. The middleware is modular. Therefore, if the user does not want to use some modules they will not be included and code footprint will be smaller. In the SIL3 middleware numerous design patterns can be found. Patterns description and purpose are explained. The pseudo code for the singleton pattern is shown. Moreover, module implementation is depicted. The validation of the middleware is presented and the V-model for the middleware is provided. It conforms to the IEC 61508.

FPGAs introduce a very attractive platform for the designing process of complex embedded systems. The complexity of these systems should be controlled to fulfill high demands and requirements, especially in safety-related applications, where aspects like reliability, availability and safety are of the utmost significance. In this context, the present paper intends the design and implementation of a novel on-chip quadruple redundant safety-related system architecture (1oo4-architecture - one out of four) as a fault tolerant technique to increase the level of safety integrity, reliability and availability of electronic embedded systems. For this aim the 1oo4-architecture and their related safety characteristics are briefly demonstrated. The FPGA-based embedded system model of this novel architecture is developed and explained. The main part of this paper focuses on the safety-related implementation on FPGA. Finally, an evaluation of the implemented architecture concludes this paper.

In recent years, Pulse Transit Time (PTT) - based non-invasive continuous blood pressure monitoring systems have been investigated extensively. But the most relevant studies did not pay attention to the safety requirement of the system. In this paper a method is proposed to model the safety-related system for continuous noninvasive blood pressure monitoring. The V model, 1oo2 system and safe Bluetooth communication are used to enhance the safety of the system.

In this paper, a concept for a SIL3 middleware implementing safety-related aspects is proposed. The middleware is intended to be used by applications that are written for a recently developed safety system-on-chip. Each module implements a low-level driver. Each driver represents a specific functionality of the system-on-chip. Once being certified conforming to IEC 61508, the middleware would enable writing safety-related applications aimed at SIL3 almost as straightforward as non-safety-related applications. A multi-core SIL3 architecture for safety-related applications is explained. In addition, possible issues that can arise during the software development are identified. Furthermore, conformance arguments on meeting SIL3 are depicted.

This paper presents an automated code generation and validation, verification approach to convert model based developments into IEC 61131-3 conform function blocks. IEC 61131-3 programming languages are supported by PLC manufacturers and software environment developers and provide the possibility that novel and intelligent algorithms can be directly operated on industrial accepted systems. Railway and transportation also receive drastic changes from purely hardware based systems to microcontroller + software driven systems. However, the conversion has to follow certain steps to ensure that the adaptation is done correctly and functionality is not alternated, added or deleted. Concepts suggested by different international standards such as the IEC 61508 can help to derive a tool chain to verify the generated code.

In 1996, a new standard was announced that should serve as a software interface to exchange process data and to solve the problem to exchange process data using different industrial protocols and communication systems. A successful story started since then with few additional standards like the Alarm and Event standard using the OPC approach and some revisions and new editions. Ten years later a new approach was created that unified all existing standards and was also concerned with e.g. interoperability, security and web-based systems. This paper details the different OPC standards, tries to answer the question why this standard is important for industries and academia and where current research and development utilising those standards.

The objective is the new development of a Software-Tool, known as FRCas, to calculate the failure rates from various components. This Software-Tool should offer the User the opportunity to determine the failure rate for various components on the basis of various Standards of Siemens SN 29500, Military Handbok MIL-HNDB, SINTEF, and CENELEC. The user should be able to obtain results with this Tool without previous knowledge of the details of standard. A further objective is the integration of Program Package "OrCAD" into the developed Software-Tool, therefore to determine the failure rates of individual components that are in the OrCAD developed electronic circuits.
