Medical Information and Communication Technology (ISMICT'16)
March 20-23, 2016
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
100 Institute Rd
Worcester, MA, USA
Announcement:
Professor Nancy G. Levenson welcomes ISMICT2016 attendees to a special panel discussion on "Medical Device Safety - Industry Experience Implementing the STAMP accident causality model" to be held in conjunction with the Fifth MIT STAMP/STPA Workshop, at 4PM on March 21 at MIT, Cambridge, MA.
Nancy G. Leveson is a leading American expert in system and software safety. She is Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT and Director, Partnership for a Systems Approach to Safety and Security, MIT
STAMP is a new accident causality model based on systems theory and systems thinking described in Nancy Leveson´s book "Engineering a Safer World." STAMP integrates into engineering analysis the causal factors in our increasingly complex systems such as software, human-decision making and human factors, new technology, social and organizational design, and safety culture.
STPA is a powerful new hazard analysis technique based on STAMP while CAST is the equivalent for accident/incident analysis. These tools are now used globally in almost every industry. In the past, presenters have come from industry, government, and academia. Application areas have included aviation, air traffic control, medical devices, oil and gas, automotive, railways, chemicals, space, human factors, domestic robots, security, defense, workplace safety, etc.
