Extending the Boundaries of Model-Based Development to Account for Errors

This paper presents an approach for relating informed task models and system models in the domain of safety critical interactive systems. The models, which are usually developed from an error-free perspective, have been informed to account for erroneous user behavior. We believe this perspective extends the general boundaries of model based development (MBD), by taking into account additional information relating to previous experiences of failure, for the design of safer safety-critical interactive systems. We illustrate our ideas using a fatal mining accident case study. Categories and Subject Descriptors
