The increasing number of accidents attributed to computer-based systems is causing increased public awareness of the risk associated with these systems’ use in safety-related applications. Examples include the Therac-25 medical LINAC deaths, the growing number of Airbus A320 crashes, the AT&T Long-Lines disaster on Martin Luther King Day in 1990, the spate of regional telephone outages of the summer of 1991, and many more.
