Scope

The IFIP Working group 13.5 working conference is building upon previous workshops. More information about these previous events is given below.

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.

Topics

The papers should address the topics of the working conference. Clearly cite one or more of the following themes as keywords for your submission:

. Human error
. Aviation
. Incident/accident analysis
. Training
. System design maintenance
. Human computer interaction
. Design
. Documentation
. Process control
. Methodologies
. Vehicle control
. Formal methods

Submissions
Authors should submit full papers not exceeding 6000 words.

Alternatively, there will be an opportunity to present more interactive work in the form of posters. In this case, authors should send abstracts of their proposed presentation not exceeding 2000 words.

Submit all material in electronic form through the web to www.wcc2004.org/hessd , by 10 February 2004.
Format: Portable Document Format (.pdf) files.

Please preview the manuscript in a viewer such as Acrobat to ensure its integrity before submitting. Make sure you visually check uncommon fonts, symbols, equations, etc. A defective print can undermine your chances of success. All submissions will be acknowledged electronically. If you have not received an acknowledgment within 72 hours of submitting your paper electronically, please contact
hessd-submission@wcc2004.org .

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register with the conference and present the paper.

Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings to be published by Kluwer.

The Final Programme is online!

We are very proud to present an extremely attractive programme that offers more than six hundred presentations.
This very rich programme offers a large variety of opportunities. Attendees will be able to compose their own menu, by mixing on-the-edge research and state-of-the-practice results in their own field of expertise, together with surveys and prospective views in other domains of interest.
The overall schedule of sessions and the social events have been designed to facilitate fruitful interactions between attendees.

Join us during a week and share l'esprit de Toulouse !
