*Fourth MIT STAMP/STPA Conference*
*Call for Participation*
March 23-26
MIT, Cambridge, MA
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. Newer tools, such of those for
doing security analysis (STPA-Sec) and leading indicators have been
developed. This free conference will provide attendees with the opportunity
to learn how to use these new tools, to meet with users and to hear about
applications, evaluations, and the latest developments in this powerful new
approach to system safety engineering and to cyber security. A day of free
tutorials will be added this year (March 23). 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.
If you would like to make a presentation, please send an abstract or
description of what you would like to present to leveson at mit.edu. It should
be relevant to STAMP but otherwise the topics are open.
*Due date Dec. 10*: Send to leveson at mit.edu
- Interest in making a presentation (1-3 page description of the
content of your proposed presentation)
- Other types of sessions you would like to lead or participate in
(including a poster session)
- Proposals or suggestions for tutorial or other sessions
- Additional suggestions for the meeting or other ways you might
like to participate
Abstracts and suggestions will be accepted after Dec. 10, but will have a
lower priority than those sent by the due date.
*Possible Topics for Presentations (not limited to these):*
- Experiences using STPA, STPA-Sec, and CAST
- Safety-guided and Security-guided design using STPA and STPA-Sec
- Accident analyses
- Certification and regulatory issues
- Evaluations and comparisons with traditional techniques
- Risk management and identifying leading indicators
- Applications to security and other areas such as workplace safety
- Tools, processes, and other support for analysis and design using
STPA and CAST
- Management and adoption experiences or challenges
*Program*: Notification about acceptance and a detailed program will be
available by the end of January. We will provide a registration website
although the meeting will again this year not have a registration fee.
*Additional Information*: The PSAS website (http://psas.scripts.mit.edu/home)
contains the presentations from past workshops and will provide more
information about this one when available.
