This chart illustrates how knowledge of different disciplines is integrated in theory and in practice about resilience assurance
Human Systems Integration ( HSI ...) is an interdisciplinary technical and management process for integrating human factors with system aspects. Human activity considered by HSI includes operating, maintaining, and supporting the system. HSI also considers training and training devices, as well as the infrastructure used for operations and support. HSI incorporates the following domains as integration considerations: manpower, personnel, training, human factors engineering, occupational health, environment, safety, habitability, and human survivability
Resilience Oriented System Engineering (ROSE) is an emergent discipline in systems engineering, integrating knowledge from the methodology of User Centered Design ( UCD ...) and practices of systems engineering. UCD is a methodology for implementing human factors in system design, applying cognitive psychology to cognitive engineering
James Reason (1990) proposed a model of operational failure, based on the Swiss Cheese metaphor, to explain system failure ( failure model ...). This model is extended for ROSE, to distinguish between related terms ( hazards, risks, threats, incidences) and to include practical terms ( add-ons, secondary risks) used in resilience assurance ( extended Swiss cheese model ...). Another version of the original Swiss Cheese metaphor is used here to model the operator's mental activities during the recovery from an exceptional situation.
