Timed Knowledge-based Modelling and Analysis: On the Dependability of Socio-technical Systems

, , and . International Conference on Human Aspects of Advanced Manufacturing: Agility & Hybrid Automation, page 321--328. (May 2003)

Abstract

We are concerned with the analysis of socio-technical systems, in particular, safety-critical systems involving considerable human intervention. Experience shows that evolving knowledge distribution in socio-technical systems may trigger catastrophic events affecting system dependability. This paper presents a knowledgebased approach to model and analyse evolving scenarios in socio-technical systems. The timed knowledge-based approach captures the nature of socio-technical systems, which consist of hybrid resources continuously interacting each other. The analysis and modelling of a case study drawn from the Air Traffic Control domain shows the applicability of the proposed approach.
