SAFECOMP is an annual event reviewing the state of the art, experiences and new trends in the areas of computer safety, reliability and security.
SAFECOMP was initiated by EWICS (European Workshop on Industrial Computer Systems) in 1979 and since then has been held in:

UK (Cambridge, Manchester, Gatwick, York)
France (Sarlat)
Italy (Como, Belgirate)
Austria (Vienna)

The conference focuses on critical computer applications. It is intended to form a platform for technology transfer between academia, industry and research institutions.

In 1997 the 16th SAFECOMP was held in York. Next year, the SAFECOMP "99" will be held in the city of Toulouse.
