Call for Participation

Second STAMP Workshop

March 26-29, 2013



STAMP is a new accident causality model based on systems theory and systems
thinking described in Nancy Leveson’s new book “Engineering a Safer World.”
STAMP accounts for the new causal factors associated with software,
human-decision making, new technology, social and organizational design,
and increasing complexity. STPA is a powerful new hazard analysis technique
based on STAMP while CAST is the equivalent for accident/incident analysis.



After the success of the first workshop, we have decided to hold a second
one. The format for the second workshop will expand on the first and have
advanced tutorials, birds of a feather sharing among those in the same
industry, presentations of experiences/lessons learned/challenges in using
STPA/CAST, research papers, and perhaps some panels. Unless there is
expressed interest, there will not be another beginner’s tutorial this time.

Please register interest in attending the workshop at
http://psas.scripts.mit.edu/home/2nd-stampstpa-workshop-2013/

We will use the "registration of interest" list for future communication
about the workshop.
