Evaluation in interactive safety-critical contexts

Interactive safety-critical applications have specific requirements that cannot be completely captured by traditional evaluation techniques. At the Human- Computer Interaction group of CNUCE-CNR scientists have developed a method that performs a systematic inspection-based analysis, aimed at improving both usability and safety aspects of an application, by analysing a system prototype and the related task model. The goal is to evaluate what could happen when interactions and behaviours occur differently from what has been assumed by the system design.
