Safety critical sofware has a lot of overlap with the requirements for high security software.

Can anyone think of any _differences_ between those domain (process and

For Spark see http://www.praxis-cs.co.uk/sparkada/

They also have an interesting list of security/ integrity related cases where Spark has been used, e.g., the security
