| Abstract
|
:
|
The Second Edition features new content, examples, methods, techniques, and best practicesAssurance Technologies Principles and Practices is based on the assertion that safety is not a cost, but an excellent investment. According to the authors, more than sixty percent of problems in complex systems arise from incomplete, vague, and poorly written specifications.
