[SystemSafety] Research topics

[Thierry.Coq at dnv.com]

Hi,
One suggestion would be to look at the data-gathering in the field for actual reliability data for safety-critical SW. it seems there are many obstacles to get good (any?) data. And the research would lead to actually asking what are the right properties in the field that are measurable. One particular area of concern is the lack of data on incidents (minor failures in SW that are not in themselves critical but are advance warning and predictors of the presence of major defects).
I suppose the research would look at technical, organizational and legal aspects, all of which might be interesting to a PHD student (and for his funding?).

Best regards,
Thierry Coq

Suppose you were to prioritize, say, 3 research topics. Which would you select?
