Recent accidents in a range of industries have increased concern over the design, management and control of safety-critical systems. Much recent attention has focussed upon the role of human error both in the development and in the operation of complex processes. This working conference will, therefore, provide a forum for practitioners and researchers to discuss leading edge techniques that can be used to mitigate the impact of human error on safety-critical systems. Our intention is to focus the working conference upon techniques that can be easily integrated into existing systems engineering practices. With this in mind, we hope to address a number of different themes:

• techniques for incident and accident analysis;
• empirical studies of operator
• behaviour in safety-critical systems;
• observational studies of safety-critical systems;
• risk assessment techniques for interactive systems;
• safety-related interface design,
• development and testing.

We would also encourage papers that cross these boundaries. Finally, we are interested to encourage contributions from many diverse sectors. These include but are not limited to aviation, maritime and the other transportation industries, the healthcare industries, process and power generation, military application.

Scope and Topics

We seek high-quality, original long papers, short papers, and demonstrations that address the human error, safety, and system development.

This working group aims to support practitioners, regulators and researchers to develop leading edge techniques in hazard analysis and the safety engineering of computer-based systems. Particular emphasis will be on the role of human error both in the development and in the operation of complex processes and on techniques that can be easily integrated into existing systems engineering practises. Specifically, the aimes are:

• To provide a framework for studying human factors that relate to systems failure.
• To provide a forum for practitioners, regulators and researchers interested in the human contribution to major accidents and incidents.
• To identify leading edge techniques for the development of safety-critical interactive systems and integrate them with existing systems engineering techniques.
