N2 - The assurance of smart devices for use in critical
applications requires the safety assessment of their
software. The overall objective of this project is to
develop an approach to the assessment of such smart
device software that takes into consideration: 1) the
particular issues of assessing COTS (commercial
off-the-shelf) and the design and accessibility of smart
devices, 2) regulatory context of the nuclear industry in
Finland (e.g. YVL guides 2.0, 2.1, 2.7, 2.8, 5.5), 3)
current practices of software assurance developed in
Finland [1-6] and more widely in the UK and European
projects [7-10].
The first phase of the project was to appraise existing
Finnish and other research and practices to define a
framework for assessment. As the second phase, the
proposed approach applied to an actual smart device.
