  • Abstract
    Safety integrity level (SIL) is very widely used to define the safety properties of software, but because it does not take account of the scale of software in terms of size and complexity it can give a misleading impression of the potential unsafe failure rate. This paper proposes an approach to assessing the SIL achieved by software so as to include the effects of scale.
