This book has unique features that set it apart from conventional
books on the prevention of system failures in that it provides a
method that views human activities from a meta-methodological
perspective based upon an inter-disciplinary understanding of human
activities. With these characteristics, the book also proposes a
common methodological basis to apply to various problems
surrounding society today such as an aging social infrastructure;
the safety of food, medicine, and public transportation; and the
creation of sustainable electricity and cybersecurity. Furthermore,
since the failure of human activities is expressed in a
three-dimensional space and the topological metrics are
implemented, the failure trajectories can be quantitatively
monitored in time series to take effective preventive measures.
Considering the implementation of the topological metrics, the
causes of each failure are classified into two dimensions of the
degree of coupling between system elements and the interaction
between the target system and the external environment. Owing to
the nature of the introduction of topological metrics, all
individual and diverse systems can share general topological
metrics. Consequently, understanding various failures over
cross-industries is possible with the use of common meta-systemic
language and mutual learning between different industries, and the
solution of social problems can be effectively achieved. A system
of system failures (SOSF) proposed and confirmed the effectiveness
of this meta-methodology for information and communication
technologies (ICT) systems and the SOSF is extended to human
activity systems (SOHAS: system of human activity systems) as a
whole. Therefore, the SOHAS becomes an academic foundation for
theoretical research on meta-methodology, and it has an impact on
practitioners to prevent system failures by accumulating knowledge
of failures and learning from other industries.
