Abstract

Maintaining modern embedded systems requires close collaboration between engineers who designed them and engineers who analyzed possible failures in such systems in order to avoid any possible hazard. In this work, we present a collaborative visual platform that supports the safety analysis process of such systems in a collaborative manner. The platform consists of one large display and multiple smart devices (i.e., smartphones or tablets) through which users interact with the visual elements on the large display for understanding the failure mechanisms of the underlying system. This whole environment provides an intuitive visual interaction to speed up the communication between different users from different backgrounds.
