Nov 7, 2026; 10:00–10:50: Enabling Safe Usage of Linux in Systems: Progress to date
Linux has been one of the most active open source project since it’s creation in 1991. Having 9 changes an hour, for the last 10 years or so, presents an interesting challenge for traditional safety analysis methodologies. The ELISA (Enabling Linux in Safety Applications) project has been exploring approaches to help with the analysis of linux being used in safety critical systems. This session will go through some of the approaches being investigated to date and welcomes discussion on other approaches to consider.
