Preface
Today’s products and safety critical-systems of most applications have become increasingly complex to build while the demand for safety and cost effective development continues. The interest in safety and risk modeling and assessment has been growing in many years to come. This book, consisting of 14 chapters, aims to present latest methods and techniques for quantifying the safety and risk with emphasis on safety, reliability and risk modeling and their applications in several areas including Aviation Systems and Security, Sensor Detection and Management Decision-Making, and Systems of Systems and Human Integration. The subjects covered include safety engineering, system maintenance, safety in design, failure mode analysis, risk concept and modeling, software safety, human safety, product safety in operating environments, human-hand safety modeling, sensor management, safety decisionmaking, nuclear safety detection, sensor data modeling, uncertainty modeling, aircraft system safety, aviation security and safety, passenger screening models, checked baggage screening models, security inspection, risk-based analysis, economic reliability-safety, quantile risk approach, risk importance measures, probability risk assessment, safety analysis, complex system re
