Design patterns provide good solutions to re-occurring problems and several patterns and methods how to apply them have been documented for safety-critical systems. However, due to the large amount of safety-related patterns and methods, it is difficult to get an overview of their capabilities and shortcomings as there currently is no survey on safety patterns and their application methods available in literature.To give an overview of existing pattern-based safety development methods, this paper presents existing methods from literature and discusses and compares several aspects of these methods such as the patterns and tools they use, their integration into a safety development process, or their maturity.

“…Some additional safety patterns are presented in [11] where also software-implemented safety patterns are handled. In [12] hardware as well as software patterns are collected and presented as a catalog. The catalog focuses on the consequences of the pattern application on quality attributes such as reliability, safety, cost, modifiability, and execution time.…”

Abstract-An important step for developing a safety-critical system is the design of its architecture. The IEC 61508 standard provides a set of architectures (1oo2, 2oo3, ...) on a high level. It is left up to the system architect to refine these architectures and to come up with a set of methods which achieve the safety goals of the system. A pool of these methods is listed in part 7 of the IEC 61508 standard. However, especially for novel safety architects choosing appropriate methods and arguing for system safety through the application of these methods is rather difficult.In this paper we present the application of safety patterns in order to address this problem. Our safety patterns connect IEC 61508 methods to the high level architecture to provide a way to reason about a system's safety. We apply a safety pattern to two real case studies and we evaluate the pattern by comparing the IEC 61508 methods suggested by the pattern to the IEC 61508 methods actually chosen by the real system architectures.Index Terms-Design patterns, functional safety, IEC 61508.

“…[6]added the influence for non-functional attributes such as safety and reliability in the design pattern template. With the continuously deepening of research for patterns, it began to be applied to other stages of the software development process: [7] gave the concept, elements, and using occasion of requirements patterns and listed the typical requirements patterns, but there was lack of special consideration for safety requirements.…”

Software safety requirements elicitation is very important for assuring software safety. Making use of general safety requirements and criterion through pattern is an effective manner. In this paper software safety requirement pattern definition and description template were given. Classification principles were made to assure the classification rationale. Software safety requirements patterns classification was given to guide patterns building. Hazard command requirement pattern was finally given as an example. Effective organization and description ability for general safety requirements and criterion were verified through the building process and result. This provides the basis for guiding software safety requirements elicitation and analysis.
