The Illusion of Risk Control
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book explores the implications of acknowledging uncertainty and black swans for regulation of high-hazard technologies, for stakeholder acceptability of potentially hazardous activities and for risk governance. The conventional approach to risk assessment, which combines the likelihood of an event and the severity of its consequences, is poorly suited to situations where uncertainty and ambiguity are prominent features of the risk landscape. The new definition of risk used by ISO, “the effect of uncertainty on [achievement of] one’s objectives”, recognizes this paradigm change. What lessons can we draw from the management of fire hazards in Edo-era Japan? Are there situations in which increasing uncertainty allows more effective safety management? How should society address the risk of potentially planet-destroying scientific experiments? This book presents insights from leading scholars in different disciplines to challenge current risk governance and safety management practice.

Design of Dependable Computing Systems
This book analyzes the causes of failures in computing systems, their consequences, as weIl as the existing solutions to manage them. The domain is tackled in a progressive and educational manner with two objectives: 1. The mastering of the basics of dependability domain at system level, that is to say independently ofthe technology used (hardware or software) and of the domain of application. 2. The understanding of the fundamental techniques available to prevent, to remove, to tolerate, and to forecast faults in hardware and software technologies. The first objective leads to the presentation of the general problem, the fault models and degradation mechanisms wh ich are at the origin of th...
Les facteurs humains et organisationnels dans le projet de conception d’un système à risques
Pour favoriser des interventions humaines performantes et sûres, la démarche FHO se base sur une analyse approfondie de l’activité humaine dans les situations existantes, et sur une simulation de l’activité probable lors des futures opérations, en fonction des options techniques et organisationnelles qui se dessinent. Elle suppose la mise en place d’une maîtrise d’ouvrage forte, une articulation précise avec la maîtrise d’œuvre, et une participation de différents acteurs, notamment exploitants. Les étapes de la démarche FHO doivent être planifiées dès le début de l’avant-projet et s’étendent jusqu’à l’évaluation après démarrage.
Model Checking Software
This volume contains the proceedings of the 17th International SPIN Workshop on Model Checking Software (SPIN 2010). The workshop was organized by and held at the University of Twente, The Netherlands, on 27–29 September 2010. The workshop was co-located with the 5th International Conference on Graph Transformation (ICGT 2010) and several of its satellite workshops, and with the joint PDMC and HiBi workshops, on Parallel and Distributed Methods for veri?Cation and on High-performance computational systems Biology. The SPIN workshopis a forum for practitioners and researchersinterested in state-spaceanalysisofsoftware-intensivesystems.Thisisapplicableinparticular to concurrent and asynchron...
Software Engineering for Resilient Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Software Engineering for Resilient Systems, SERENE 2016, held in Gothenburg, Sweden, in September 2016.The 10 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 15 submissions. They cover the following areas: development of resilient systems; incremental development processes for resilient systems; requirements engineering and re-engineering for resilience; frameworks, patterns and software architectures for resilience; engineering of self-healing autonomic systems; design of trustworthy and intrusion-safe systems; resilience at run-time (mechanisms, reasoning and adaptation); resilience and dependabi...
Euro-Par’ 99 Parallel Processing
Euro-Parisaninternationalconferencededicatedtothepromotionandadvan- ment of all aspects of parallel computing. The major themes can be divided into the broad categories of hardware, software, algorithms and applications for p- allel computing. The objective of Euro-Par is to provide a forum within which to promote the development of parallel computing both as an industrial te- nique and an academic discipline, extending the frontier of both the state of the art and the state of the practice. This is particularly important at a time when parallel computing is undergoing strong and sustained development and experiencing real industrial take-up. The main audience for and participants in Euro-Pa...
Computer Safety, Reliability, and Security
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 36th International Conference on ComputerSafety, Reliability, and Security, SAFECOMP 2017, held in Trento, Italy, in September 2017.The 22 revised full papers and two abstracts of keynotes presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 65 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on dynamic fault trees; safety case and argumentation; formal verification; autonomous systems; static analysis and testing; safety analysis and assessment; safety and security.
The Lure and Legacy of Music at Versailles
Taking its departure from King Louis XIV's 1660 visit to Provence, this book reveals the remarkable musical developments that followed.
Embedded System Applications
Embedded systems encompass a variety of hardware and software components which perform specific functions in host systems, for example, satellites, washing machines, hand-held telephones and automobiles. Embedded systems have become increasingly digital with a non-digital periphery (analog power) and therefore, both hardware and software codesign are relevant. The vast majority of computers manufactured are used in such systems. They are called `embedded' to distinguish them from standard mainframes, workstations, and PCs. Athough the design of embedded systems has been used in industrial practice for decades, the systematic design of such systems has only recently gained increased attention...
