    [$] Safety certification for open-source systems

    Description:
    This year's Linaro Connect in Lisbon, Portugal featured a number of talks about the use of
    open-source components in safety-critical systems. Kate Stewart gave a
    keynote on the topic
    on the first day of the conference. In it, she highlighted several projects that
    have been working to pursue safety certification and spoke about the importance of
    being able to trace software's origins to safety. In a talk on the second
    day, Roberto
    Bagnara shared his experience with working on one of those projects, the Xen hypervisor, to conform to a formal set of rules for safety-critical code.
