Risk management deals with prevention, decision-making, action
taking, crisis management and recovery, taking into account
consequences of unexpected events. The authors of this book are
interested in ecological processes, human behavior, as well as the
control and management of life-critical systems, which are
potentially highly automated.Three main attributes define
life-critical systems, i.e., safety, efficiency and comfort. They
typically lead to complex and time-critical issues and can belong
to domains such as transportation (trains, cars, aircraft), energy
(nuclear, chemical engineering), health, telecommunications,
manufacturing and services.The topics covered are related to risk
management principles, methods and tools, and include situation
awareness and the impact of new technology, reliability assessment:
human errors as well as system failures, emotions, procedures,
system monitoring, control and management, socio-organizational
issues of crisis occurrence and management, co-operative work
including human-machine cooperation and CSCW, responsibility and
accountability: task and function allocation, authority sharing,
interactivity, networking and management evolution and lessons
learned from Human-Centered Design.
