Essay about standard minimum functional and design requirements for computers used as components of safety system
This paper proposes a new implementation of procedural information database, namely State oriented Approach (SOA), which is capable of creating semantic checks for the overall EM procedures written as language-independent and representation-independen rules. By emphasizing the importance of defining object, state, action and actor in the EM procedures, the proposed SOA showed 4.72% of non-SOA c…
This report considers a variety of circumstances that may require corrective actions to be assessed or implemented at near surface disposal facilities. The circumstances leading to the corrective actions, or the corrective actions themselves, may be of either a technical or a non-technical nature. Methodologies that can be employed to implement effective solutions to problems are discussed, inc…

This book provides detailed descriptions on attack model and strategy analysis, intrusion detection, secure state estimation and control, game theory in close-loop systems, and various cyber-security applications. We expect the book to be pavorable to those who are interested in secure theories and technologies for industrial control systems
Accidents and natural disasters involving nuclear power plants such as Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and the recent meltdown at Fukushima are rare, but their effects are devastating enough to warrant increased vigilance in addressing safety concerns.Nuclear Power Plant Instrumentation and Control Systems for Safety and Security evaluates the risks inherent to nuclear power and methods of prevent…
This work provides a comprehensive approach to the planning and reliability calculations for the expansion of power generation systems, transmission networks and plant maintenance scheduling. The mathematical and statistical theory required by the reader is introduced and explained by means of examples at the beginning of the text and particular emphasis is given to operational research and rel…
