Résumé / Abstract
IN 1993, UNDER THE EUROPEAN ESPRIT PROGRAMME THE CERTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT OF SAFETY-CRITICAL APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT (CASCADE) WAS SET UP TO FORMULATE, EVALUATE AND DEVELOP, THROUGH REAL APPLICATIONS, A HARMONISED GENERALISED ASSESSMENT METHOD (GAM) FOR SOFTWARE INTENSIVE SAFETY CRITICAL APPLICATIONS, SO THAT ANY SYSTEM CAN BE ASSESSED BY ANY APPROVED ASSESSOR, IN ANY EUROPEAN COUNTRY, USING THE GAM AND THE RESULTS OF THE ASSESSMENT WILL BE UNIFORM, RECOGNISED AND ACCEPTABLE TO ALL. THE GAM IS DIVIDED INTO TWO MAIN FUNCTIONAL PARTS. THE GAM RULES FORM A NORMATIVE PART OF THE GAM AND THE GAM GUIDELINES PROVIDE BOTH THE ASSESSOR AND THE SUPPLIER WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND GUIDANCE IN THE INTERPRETATION OF THE GAM RULES. THIS DOCUMENT PRESENTS THE SECOND PART OF THE PUBLIC VERSION OF THE CASCADE GENERALISED ASSESSMENT METHOD (GAM) [GUIDELINES]. THE PRINCIPAL AIM OF THIS DOCUMENT IS TO DEFINE THE FRAMEWORK FOR THE ASSESSMENT METHOD. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE METHOD IS TO ENSURE THAT AN ASSESSED SYSTEM MEETS ITS SAFETY REQUIREMENTS ACCORDING RELEVANT STANDARDS. THE CENTRAL POINT OF GAM IS THE SAFETY ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE AND CRITERIA. THE GAM IS A METHOD USED BY ASSESSORS AND PROVIDED TO DEVELOPERS. THE KEY WORDS OF GAM IS CONFIDENCE AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS AND IT IS BASED MORE TOWARDS PRODUCT THAN PROCESS., RAPPORT DE CONTRAT
