Risk Management in Life Critical Systems
Risk Management in Life Critical Systems
Risk Management in Life Critical Systems (Iste) by Patrick Millot
Risk management deals with prevention,
decision-making, action taking, crisis management and recovery, taking
into account the 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 relate to risk management principles, methods and tools, and reliability assessment: human errors as well as system failures, socio-organizational issues of crisis occurrence and management, co-operative work including human−machine cooperation and CSCW (computer-supported cooperative work): task and function allocation, authority sharing, interactivity, situation awareness, networking and management evolution and lessons learned from Human-Centered Design.
