Call for Participation to the European Summer School on
RELIABILITY AND SAFETY OF HUMAN-MACHINE SYSTEMS
Aug. 29 - Sept. 4, 1999 - Colostrai Village, Sardinia
AIM: There is an increasing use of automation in contexts
where humans and machines interact in process control,
manufacturing, transportation, medical systems and many
other fields. The dependability analysis and evaluation of
these systems requires an integrated approach, considering
the hardware, software and human components and their
interactions. The aim of the summer school is to help
researchers and practitioners in developing the inter-
disciplinary competencies needed for to the design,
analysis and evaluation of human-machine systems.
Lecturers will be expert senior researchers from the
different disciplines concerned (human reliability and
cognitive science, hardware and software dependability).
PROGRAM: The summer school will be based on a case study
where both participants and speakers will be involved.
The case study will deal with some phases of the lifecycle
of a control system. The control system selected will be
characterised by the presence of hardware, software and
human resources and with strong interactions with the
users. Work will be organised in three or four working
groups, each one dealing with one of the following
aspects: specification of the requirements for the
control system; high level design of the control system;
definition of its validation and verification plan;
safety analysis and assessment. During this activity
students and speakers will consider all the components
of the system (hardware, software, human) and try to
design, evaluate and verify it with an holistic approach.
Speakers will work as moderators and to stimulate the
groups. The case study will be integrated with theoretical
presentations of the speakers.
ORGANISED BY: The OLOS research network of the European
Human Capital and Mobility Programme, in co-operation with
the University of Siena, supported by the European
Community - DGXII TMR Programme.
ATTENDANCE: The summer school is open to researchers and
practitioners at post-graduate level (or equivalent) or
post-doctoral level, with background in at least one of
the discipline concerned with analysis and evaluation of
human-machine systems: software and systems reliability
engineering and safety, all the aspects of hardware
reliability, all the aspects of human reliability and
cognitive science.
