Engineering has skilled a technological revolution, however the simple engineering thoughts utilized in defense and reliability engineering, created in a less complicated, analog international, have replaced little or no through the years. during this groundbreaking e-book, Nancy Leveson proposes a brand new method of safety--more fitted to cutting-edge advanced, sociotechnical, software-intensive world--based on smooth platforms pondering and platforms thought. Revisiting and updating rules pioneered by means of Fifties aerospace engineers of their process safeguard suggestion, and trying out her new version greatly on real-world examples, Leveson has created a brand new method of defense that's greater, more cost-effective, and more straightforward to exploit than present innovations. Arguing that conventional types of causality are insufficient, Leveson offers a brand new, prolonged version of causation (Systems-Theoretic coincidence version and procedures, or STAMP), then then indicates how the hot version can be utilized to create ideas for method security engineering, together with coincidence research, danger research, method layout, protection in operations, and administration of safety-critical platforms. She applies the recent options to real-world occasions together with the friendly-fire lack of a united states Blackhawk helicopter within the first Gulf conflict; the Vioxx bear in mind; the U.S. army SUBSAFE application; and the bacterial illness of a public water offer in a Canadian city. Leveson's method is proper even past safeguard engineering, providing options for "reengineering" any huge sociotechnical process to enhance protection and deal with danger.
