Fifth STAMP Workshop, MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA
March 21–24, 2016
Contact: Nancy Leveson, MIT Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, E-mail leveson@mit.
Traditional system safety approaches are being challenged by the introduction of new technology and the increasing complexity of the systems we are attempting to build. STAMP is a new systems thinking approach to engineering safer systems described in Nancy Leveson’s book “Engineering a Safer World” (MIT Press, January 2012). STAMP accounts for the new causal factors associated with software, human-decision making, new technology, social and organizational design, and increasing complexity. While relatively new, it is already being used in space, aviation, medical, defense, nuclear, automotive, and other applications. For details please visit the above website, news will follow soon.
