Meeting Report: The 3rd European STAMP Workshop, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Traditional system safety approaches are being challenged by the introduction of new technology and the increasing complexity of the systems we build and operate. System Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) is a new systems thinking approach that w as introduced in Nancy Leveson's book "Engineering a Safer World" (MIT Press, 2012) While relatively new, the STAMP approach and its respective tools and methods are already being used in many industry sectors such as space, aviation, automotive, software, security medical, defence and nuclear. In more than 150 published articles, the potential of the STAMP family of tools to identify more hazards and causal factors than traditional tools (e.g, FTA, HAZOP, FMEA) has been demonstrated.
