Submit presentations by January 8

The 'Forum Safety & Security' will once again take place in Stuttgart from June 23 to 24, 2020. Participate with technical presentations and experience reports on the topic of safety - suggestions for topics can be submitted until January 8.

The 'Forum Safety & Security' is a joint event of the media brands Elektronik automotive, Markt&Technik and Computer&AUTOMATION.

Functional safety plays a decisive role in industry and automotive engineering in order to prevent danger to machine and system operators as well as vehicle users as far as possible. For this reason, the development of safety-critical systems must be carried out in accordance with the relevant standards - from IEC 61508 as a higher-level standard to specialist standards such as ISO 13849, ISO 26262 or IEC 61511. With the networking of machines and production facilities under the heading of Industry 4.0, these systems must also be protected with extensive measures against unauthorized access or hacker attacks, sabotage or even espionage.

WEKA FACHMEDIEN is doing justice to this and is once again organizing the interdisciplinary 'Safety & Security Forum' in June 2020. In presentations, experts will address the individual topics of safety and security as well as the interaction of both aspects from the perspective of the industrial and automotive application sectors and provide answers to all pressing security questions. The lecture program will cover everything from the available hardware and software components, tools, aids and certification to the practical use of safe systems in production and in the automobile. Accordingly, the presentations will provide clearly structured information for developers of hardware and software components as well as for integrators and end users from the mechanical and plant engineering sector, for example.

The detailed list of possible presentation topics and the online submission form can be found on the event website.

Date: June 22 - 24, 2019

Venue: Mövenpick Hotel Stuttgart Airport
