The Evaluation of Symptomatic and Latent Failure Causal Factors in Complex Socio-technical Systems

Description:: Human error remains the highest symptomatic cause of system failure across multiple domains. Technology failure has seen a significant rate decrease through analyses and design changes, but human error causal factors have not experienced the same level of improvement. Designers and developers...

A Robust System Maturity Model Using Petri Nets

Description:: Immature systems can be plagued by high costs, high risks, and schedule delays. System maturity models are utilized to quantitatively analyze a system’s readiness to indicate whether the system is prepared to proceed to the next acquisition phase during development. Most system maturity models...
