Assessing the Reliability of Socio-technical Systems

چکیده
This paper presents a Bayesian belief network (BBN) approach for socio technical system reliability assessment. A human error model (BBN) quantifies error influences arising from user knowledge, ability and task environment, combined with factors describing the complexity of user action and user interface quality. System reliability evaluation is achieved by the Scenario Reliability analyser tool, which enables the iterative manipulation of the human error model according to high-level scenarios.

Assessing ICT Security Risks in Socio-Technical Systems (Dagstuhl Seminar 16461)
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 16461 “Assessing ICT Security Risks in Socio-Technical Systems”. As we progress from classic mechanical or electrical production systems, over ICT systems, to socio-technical systems, risk assessment becomes increasingly complex and difficult. Risk assessment for traditional engineering systems assumes the systems to be dete...
متن کاملDiagnosing reliability problems in Socio-technical Systems: A Visualisation approach
This paper presents a visualisation approach of socio-technical system design evaluation based on human reliability. Bayesian Belief networks are used to assess human error and system failure (Sutcliffe et al. 1999) based on a variety of high-level operational scenarios. The System Reliability Analyser tool automates the process by iteratively manipulating the BBN model, presenting the analyst ...
متن کاملReliability Optimization for Complicated Systems with a Choice of Redundancy Strategies (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Redundancy allocation is one of the common techniques to increase the reliability of the bridge systems. Many studies on the general redundancy allocation problems assume that the redundancy strategy for each subsystem is predetermined and fixed. In general, active redundancy has received more attention in the past. However, in real world, a particular system design contains both active and col...

متن کاملTowards an Integrative Cognitive-Socio-Technical Approach in Health Informatics: Analyzing Technology-Induced Error Involving Health Information Systems to Improve Patient Safety
The purpose of this paper is to argue for an integration of cognitive and socio-technical approaches to assessing the impact of health information systems. Historically, health informatics research has examined the cognitive and socio-technical aspects of health information systems separately. In this paper we argue that evaluations of health information systems should consider aspects related ...
