| Abstract: | Many well-known manmade system disasters exhibit a common path to catastrophe. These functional failures resulted from the gaps that eventually contribute to the development of a tragedy and essentially exist between human and machine capabilities, responses and interfaces and between control processes and control systems. Conducting an analysis of the typical contingency control structures, the authors suggest that management adopt a pessimistic and quasi-intelligent orientation to control and monitor critical systems. |
