Abstract: Advanced technological systems consist of a combination of hardware and software, and they are often operated or supervised by a human operator. Failures in software-intensive systems may be difficult to identify, analyze, and mitigate, owing to system complexity, system interactions, and cascading effects. Risk analysis of such systems is necessary to ensure safe operation.
