Working Group 13.5 – Human Error, Resilience, Reliability, Safety and System Development
This working group aims to support practitioners, regulators and researchers to develop leading edge techniques in hazard analysis and the safety engineering of computer-based systems. Particular emphasis will be on the role of human error both in the development and in the operation of complex processes and on techniques that can be easily integrated into existing system engineering practices. Specifically, the aims are:
To build on existing work in IFIP member countries in the following areas:
Recent accidents in a range of industries have increased concern over the management and control of safety-critical systems. Although we have developed techniques to cope with failures in individual components, it has proven far more difficult to predict and prevent accidents that are caused by an interaction between component failure, system-level complexity and human-machine intervention.
There are two reasons why it is important for HCI researchers to become involved in the development and operation of safety-critical systems:
IFIP working group status will provide mutual benefits to both the researchers who are already active in this area and to IFIP as a whole. By providing working group status, IFIP will help to support the issues and concerns voiced in the previous paragraphs. The role of human error both in systems development and in systems operation is of international importance. Its impact is felt in the developed and in the developing world. Both the United Nations and NATO have identified human error in systems development as a key strategic issue that affects both economic competitiveness and has vital consequence for ecological protection.
IFIP working group structure will provide us with a framework for the informal managerial and organisational arrangements that have grown up around the workshops. It will provide links to existing IFIP working groups and this is important because our aims are inherently inter-disciplinary.
