MIRA is involved in a number of activities which are aimed at integrating electromagnetic modeling techniques into established CAD and CAE strategies used by automotive manufacturers and component suppliers for vehicle design. This paper describes the objectives of the work, the major activities and the progress to date. It includes a review of user requirements identified during earlier work, the results of the validation activities being undertaken and the progress with developing a strategy for integration of electromagnetic modeling into vehicle design processes. The results of a preliminary study into the use of high-performance computing are also reported.

MISRA (The Motor Industry Software Reliability Association) develops practical guidance to assist the developers of safety-related systems in the automotive industry and other sectors in implementing safe and reliable systems. This paper presents a short overview of MISRA's ongoing activities, with particular emphasis on guidance being produced in two areas: process measures for safety-related systems engineering, and product measures for safety-related systems development. Subsequent papers in the session give more details on these activities.

This paper provides an overview of the new MISRA publication, Guidelines for Safety Analysis of Vehicle-Based Programmable Systems. It describes a process which needs to be incorporated into a company's or organization's management structure so they can manage safety effectively. The MISRA Safety Process comprises two principal phases: Preliminary Safety Analysis and Detailed Safety Analysis. The former identifies what needs to be done; the latter demonstrates that it has been done correctly.
