Reliability and risk issues in large scale safety-critical digital control systems

‘Reliability and Risk Issues in Large Scale Safety-critical Digital Control Systems’ provides a comprehensive coverage of reliability issues and their corresponding countermeasures in the field of large-scale digital control systems,from the hardware and software in digital systems to the human operators who supervise the overall process of large-scale systems. Unlike other books whichexamine theories and issues in individual fields, this book reviews importantproblems and countermeasures across the fields of software reliability, software verification and validation, digital systems, human factors engineering and human reliability analysis. Divided into four sections dealing with softwarereliability, digital system reliability, human reliability and human operators in large-scale digital systems, the book offers insights from professional researchers in each specialized field in a diverse yet unified approach Provides a comprehensive coverage of reliability issues and their corresponding countermeasures in the field of large-scale digital control systems.
