Welcome to the 34th ISSC, the premiere international conference on system
safety. The theme for ISSC 2016 is "Developing System Safety Engineers for the
Future.” The conference technical program is based on training and educating
new System Safety Engineers with the focus on tutorials. A separate tutorial track
has been established providing ~20 hours of basic system safety engineering and
management (SSEM) training focused on the new System Safety Engineer.
Topics include an overview of SSEM, hazard analysis techniques, MIL-STD-882E
system safety process and tasks, and SAE ARP 4761 system safety process and
hazard analysis techniques. The training is endorsed by the International System
Safety Society and a certificate of completion will be provided. The Technical
Program will also include other tutorials, workshops, and panels, which will
include advanced system safety engineering and management topics along with
tutorials on managing system safety engineers. Topics include a manager’s guide
to mentoring new SSEs, career progression of the SSE, and what the new SSE
needs to know to be successful. Paper topics (sessions) will include general
system safety engineering, human factors, accident and incident investigation,
ground transportation system safety (highway and rail), and electrical and nuclear
power system safety. Training sessions can also be provided by sponsors and
exhibitors using their products with rooms being provided by the ISSC.
We want you to share your knowledge and invite you to participate. Please
consider one of several types of technical presentations (listed below) on any
process, method, or technique that you believe contributes to the goals and
objectives of system safety. This interdisciplinary conference will bring
practitioners and the foremost thinkers of the system safety discipline together for
an exchange of ideas, knowledge and experience. There will be contributions
from many different industries including automotive; aviation, defense,
healthcare, oil and gas, electronics, utilities, rail, robotics, unmanned air and
ground vehicles, and other transportation systems.
