ASCE™

In ASCE version 3.5 Adelard brings over 19 years of safety and dependability leadership in supporting the development and maintenance of safety and assurance cases. Since its establishment in 1987 Adelard has developed an enviable reputation for addressing complex customer needs in a range of sectors, including defence (land, sea and air), nuclear, civil aviation, rail and road transport, and space. We work closely with government organisations at the European level in the development of policy, and have been involved with the production of numerous key safety standards and guidelines.

ASCE version 3.5 takes assurance and safety case practice to new levels. Its powerful 'plugin' architecture provides powerful, user-extensible capability. ASCE continues to support the key assurance case notations: Goal Structuring Notation and Claims-Arguments-Evidence. A number of other notations are supported including project management, Why-Because Analysis and ECFA (both for accident analysis), decision trees and 'Bow Tie' analysis. Recently released is a notation for developing verification and validation cases to international standards. Other notations are available as free downloads from this website.
