Recent accidents in a range of industries have increased concern
over the design, development, management and control of
safety-critical systems. Attention has now focused upon the role of
human error both in the development and in the operation of complex
processes.
Human Error, Safety and Systems Development gathers contributions
from practitioners and researchers presenting and discussing
leading edge techniques that can be used to mitigate the impact of
error (both system and human) on safety-critical systems. Some of
these contributions can be easily integrated into existing systems
engineering practices while others provide a more theoretical and
fundamental perspective on the issues raised by these kinds of
interactive systems. More precisely the contributions cover the
following themes:
-Techniques for incident and accident analysis;
-Empirical studies of operator behaviour in safety-critical
systems;
-Observational studies of safety-critical systems;
-Risk assessment techniques for interactive systems;
-Safety-related interface design, development and testing;
-Formal description techniques for the design and development of
safety-critical interactive systems.
Many diverse sectors are covered, including but not limited to
aviation, maritime and the other transportation industries, the
healthcare industry, process and power generation and military
applications.
This volume contains 20 original and significant contributions
addressing these critical questions. The papers were presented at
the 7th IFIP Working Group 13.5 Working Conference on Human Error,
Safety and Systems Development, which was held in August 2004 in
conjunction with the 18th IFIP World Computer Congress in Toulouse,
France, and sponsored by the International Federation for
Information Processing (IFIP).
