Description:
After studying this book it became clear rather quickly that the problem lay in system engineering. After attempting
to solve it from within the computer science community, in 1998 I decided I could make more
progress by moving to an aerospace engineering department, where the struggle with safety and
complexity had been ongoing for a long time. I also joined what is called at MIT the Engineering
Systems Division (ESD). The interactions with my colleagues in ESD encouraged me to consider
engineering systems in the large, beyond simply the technical aspects of systems, and to examine the
underlying foundations of the approaches we were taking. I wanted to determine if the difficulties
we were having in system safety stemmed from fundamental inconsistencies between the techniques
engineers were using and the new types of systems on which they were being used. I began by
exploring ideas in systems theory and accident models.
