ATM automation: guidance on human technology integration
Amaldi, Paola; Quercioli, Monica (CAA UK, 2016-03-01)Human interaction with technology and automation is a key area of interest to industry and safety regulators alike. In February 2014, a joint CAA/industry workshop considered perspectives on present and future implementation ... -
Identifying how automation can lose its intended benefit along the development process : a research plan
Rozzi, Simone; Amaldi, Paola; Kirwan, Barry (British Computing Society (BCS), 2009)Automation is usually considered to improve performance in virtually any domain. However it can fail to deliver the target benefit as intended by those managers and designers advocating the introduction of the tool. In ... -
The integration of alarm devices into socio-technical systems : The case of an airborne alert device (ACAS)
Amaldi, Paola; Chellappah, Anusha (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2009)Three current views on safety management (i.e., the “additive”, the “linearity” and the “limited cognition” views respectively) are proposed and critically discussed in the light of an analysis of 3500 Incident Reports ... -
Inter-organisational safety debate : The case of an alarm system from the air traffic control domain
Amaldi, Paola; Rozzi, Simone (2012)The management of safety critical operations cannot only be left to the initiative of those individuals directly in contact with the production processes. Society as a whole has a role to play. This work seeks to explore ... -
IT innovation and its organizational conditions in safety critical domains : the case of the Minimum Safe Altitude Warning System
Rozzi, Simone; Amaldi, Paola; Kirwan, Barry (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2011)Safety critical organizations modernize routinely their infrastructures in order to improve safety and productivity. However, such improvement might be compromised if new tools are not delivered, or fail to be adopted by ... -
A multi-perspective view on human - automation interactions in Aviation
Amaldi, Paola; Quercioli, Monica, S. (Springer Nature, 2015)Control mechanisms for the evolving potential of autonomous systems are not yet sufficiently established. However, there is a need for control to be allocated throughout organisational and institutional levels of society ... -
The nature and scope of safety management in the NHS comparison with NASA and aviation
Amaldi, Paola; Khalil, Sara (2016-07-13)Safety critical industries are those that may cause harm to the environment, public or personnel (Reiman & Oedewald, 2008) and they are required to manage and monitor their own safety operations. Healthcare is regarded as ... -
Organizational and Inter-Organizational Precursors to Problematic Automation in Safety Critical Domains : A Longitudinal Ethnographic Case Study from the Air Traffic Management Domain
Rozzi, Simone; Amaldi, Paola (IRIT Press, 2012) -
An organizational study into the concept of automation in a safety critical socio-technical system
Amaldi, Paola; Smoker, Anthony (Springer Nature, 2013) -
An organizational study into the concept of “automation policy” in a safety critical socio-technical system.
Amaldi, Paola; Smoker, Anthony (2013)Although automation has been introduced in all areas of public life, what seems to be missing is a reflection at the organizational or societal level about a policy of automation. By this we intend appropriate declarations ... -
The problem is not over-automation but lack of automation policy
Amaldi, Paola; Smoker, Anthony (2012-05-29) -
Socio-technical system design and organisational power structures: : Addressing growing complexity in aerospace
Amaldi, Paola; Quercioli, Monica, S.; Smoker, Anthony (2016-06-07)This study identified and analysed the concerns of aviation stakeholders (regulators, air traffic controllers, engineers , pilots) about automation at different levels within organisational and societal structures. It also ... -
What's the definition of 'reportable'? : A qualitative study identifying influences on incident and safety risk reporting in NHS Trusts
Hawkins, Janine; Amaldi, Paola (2016-07-13)Patient safety reporting was introduced nationally as a patient safety improvement tool more than a decade ago (DOH, 2002), but there has been little evidence of impact in the interim (eg Shojiana, 2008). Studies of ...
