Scope and Motivation

System and software safety in electronic systems is becoming increasingly central in many industries and as part of often critical societal infrastructure. The systems become ever more complex, connected and autonomous — and the software continues to grow. This poses many challenges even for mature organizations, requiring approaches that go beyond established best practices.

The Scandinavian Conference on Systems and Software Safety (SCSSS) has become a central meeting place for Scandinavian safety experts from industry, public and academic organizations. Collaborating with other important relevant organizations, such as the Swedish Network for System Safety, SAFER and the Swedish Electromobility Centre, SCSSS has managed to gather roughly 100 participants, primarily safety engineers from industry, each year since 2013. The conference features presentations from industry and academia, with a strong emphasis on networking.

This year SCSSS2025 is held as a workshop at SafeComp2025.
