Our confidence in software systems depends on our confidence in the exhaustiveness of our testing. As software systems get more complex, the task of exhaustive testing becomes more complex and even infeasible in some cases. In order to build less error prone systems, we therefore need to not only focus...
For many decades, production and assembly lines have played an important role in industrial manufacturing systems. In particular, they have proved to be an efficient way to organize the production of high volume products in many industries. In their effort to improve the efficiency of production lines, researchers encountered two...

Cellular Manufacturing Systems (CMS) have provided
significant increase in manufacturing productivity over the
last two decades. This has been achieved because CMS can
overcome the problems due to frequent setups, high in-process
inventories, long throughput times and complex
planning and coordination commonly associated with a batch-type
manufacturing operation. The underlying...
Many failures of interpersonal communication and coordination in the aircraft cockpit have been found to occur as a result of poor management of flightdeck 'resources'. Crew Resource Management (CRM) is a concept that has evolved within the aviation community to specifically address this issue of resource management. The concept of...
