The project aims at exchanging data with respect to the operating experience concerning Computer-based Systems Important to Safety Project. The objectives of the COMPSIS Project are:
-
Define a format and collect software and hardware fault experience in computer based safety critical NPP systems (hereafter called "COMPSIS events" in a structured, quality assured and consistent database
-
Collect and analyse COMPSIS events over a long term so as to better understand such events, their causes, and their prevention
-
Generate insights into the root causes and contributors of COMPSIS events which can then be used to derive approaches or mechanisms for their prevention or for mitigating their consequences
-
Establish a mechanism for an efficient feedback of experience gained in connection with COMPSIS events including the development of defences against their occurrence, such as diagnostics, tests & inspections; and
-
Record event attributes and dominant contributors so that a basis for national risk analysis of computerized systems is established
