Abstract
This paper presents the results of a survey to assess the extent of use of safety architectural patterns in Logica to solve commonly reoccurring problems in the safety domain. A number of Logica safety related projects, active during August 2011, were considered to establish which specific patterns had been used so a profile of pattern use could be established along with a view of their perceived effectiveness. The survey also presented the opportunity to determine if any new or novel approach or patterns were being used. The results and findings of the survey are documented in this paper.
