Accident & Incident Modeling & Reporting

Scope
Accident and incident investigation, modelling, and reporting play a primary role in the safety of many different industries across the globe. Existing approaches are extremely diverse; the practices and techniques that have been developed within one industry are seldom shared by those in other areas. Similarly, techniques that have been developed within one national industry are often completely different from those that are used in other countries. These observations have considerable practical consequences. It can be difficult or impossible to exchange data among many diverse systems, developed using different techniques. Similarly, it can be difficult to ensure that `best practices' are effectively transferred among industries and among nations. This special issue is intended to provide a forum for the exchange of views about accident and incident investigation, modelling, and reporting across many different application domains, including but not limited to chemical process industry, healthcare, the aviation, rail, marine and offshore industries, and nuclear applications. Of interest are multi-disciplinary approaches that address the following topics, although we welcome papers that address issues beyond these particular items:
* the integration of human factors, system engineering and management concerns;
* forensic software engineering and techniques for analysing software failure;
* appropriate investigatory techniques, eye-witness interviewing and elicitation;
* studies on the scope of evidence gathering following incidents and accidents;
* causal analysis techniques;
* presentation and dissemination of safety-related information;
* integrating incident and accident recommendations into broader risk analysis and assessment;
* incident `starvation' and the problems of under-reporting;
* incident `saturation' and the problems of scale in incident reporting;
* data mining and trending techniques for incident data;
* validation and the monitoring of incident and accident reporting systems.
* field studies in the application of incident and accident reporting;
Submit papers to any of the Guest Editors, by March 1, 2006, but inform about the intention of submitting as soon as possible.
