High Reliability Collaborations: Theorizing Interorganizational Reliability as Constituted through Translation

Towards High-Reliability Speech Translation in the Medical Domain

In this paper, we describe the overall design for a speech translation system that aims to reduce the problems caused by language barriers in medical situations. As first steps to building a system according to this design, we describe a collection of a medical corpus, and some translation experiments performed on this corpus. As a result of the experiments, we find that the best of three moder...

High Reliability Approaches in Cloud Applications for Business – Reliability as a Service (raas) Model

We introduce in this paper the concept of a new model Reliability as a Service (RaaS) on cloud software systems. The concept is supported by common fault tolerant approaches which should be adopted as part of the cloud software architecture in order to obtain a reliability close to the five 9s (99,999%) as stated by Software Availability Forum (SAF). Since there is no one particular need for ev...

How to Improve High-frequency Bus Service Reliability through Scheduling

This paper outlines a scheduling process for improving high-frequency bus service reliability based on a model which uses Automatic Vehicle Location and Automatic Passenger Count data. Developing a schedule for high-frequency bus routes involves balancing the costs to the passengers and the cost to the transit agency. Passengers are interested in short travel times and short, reliable waiting t...

Promoting health care safety through training high reliability teams.

Many organizations have been using teams as a means of achieving organizational outcomes (such as productivity and safety). Research has indicated that teams, especially those operating in complex environments, are not always effective. There is a subset of organizations in which teams operate that are able to balance effectiveness and safety despite the complexities of the environment (for exa...
