Abstract:
Development of safety systems for modern industrial control applications is challenged on the one hand by ever growing systems and on the other hand by increasing cost pressures. That is, design process efficiency is a crucial aspect. How to efficiently utilize existing engineering knowledge and document suitable approaches to the common problems of the domain? Design patterns provide a design process with solutions. Design patterns can represent existing knowledge from past projects or illustrate solution blueprints inspired indirectly, e.g., by safety standards. Thus, they provide a designer with support for design decisions during a development process.
