CALL FOR PAPERS

38th International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability and Security (SafeComp 2019)

Turku, Finland | 10 - 13 September 2019 | https://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/safecomp2019/

SAFECOMP was established in 1979 by the European Workshop on Industrial Computer Systems, Technical Committee 7 on Reliability, Safety and Security (EWICS TC7).

Since then, it has contributed to the progress of the state-of-the-art in dependable application of computers in safety-related and safety-critical systems. SAFECOMP has contributed to the progress of the state-of-the-art in dependable application of computers in safety-related and safety-critical systems.
