How do accidents and disasters occur? How has knowledge of accident
processes evolved? A significant improvement in safety has occurred
during the past century, with the number of accidents falling
spectacularly within industry, aviation and road traffic. This
progress has been gradual in the context of a changing society. The
improvements are partly due to a better understanding of the
accident processes that ultimately lead to damage. This book shows
how contemporary crises instigated the development of safety
knowledge and how the safety sciences pieced their theories
together by research, by experience and by taking ideas from other
domains. From Safety to Safety Science details 150 years of
knowledge development in the safety sciences. The authors have
rigorously extracted the essence of safety knowledge development
from more than 2,500 articles to provide a unique overview and
insight into the background and usability of safety theories, as
well as modelling how they developed and how they are used today.
Extensive appendices and references provide an additional dimension
to support further scholarly work in this field. The book is
divided into clear time periods to make it an accessible piece of
science history that will be invaluable to both new and experienced
safety researchers, to safety courses and education, and to learned
practitioners.
Computational intelligence is rapidly becoming an essential part of
reliability engineering. This book offers a wide spectrum of
viewpoints on the merger of technologies. Leading scientists share
their insights and progress on reliability engineering techniques,
suitable mathematical methods, and practical applications.
Thought-provoking ideas are embedded in a solid scientific basis
that contribute to the development the emerging field. This book is
for anyone working on the most fundamental paradigm-shift in
resilience engineering in decades. Scientists benefit from this
book by gaining insight in the latest in the merger of reliability
engineering and computational intelligence. Businesses and (IT)
suppliers can find inspiration for the future, and reliability
engineers can use the book to move closer to the cutting edge of
technology.
