The discussions show how CSE work plays an important role in Human Factors and Resilience Engineering integration into healthcare systems as in other critical societal areas. In part 1 you will find Nancy Leveson's introduction to Systems Safety Engineering for health care professionals. At about 9:30 you can hear Dave Woods' remarks which began with a recap of how patient safety arose as a cri...

Dr. David Woods explores the Resilience Engineering case study laid out in the New York Times Bestseller, Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt by Michael Lewis. He dives into the patterns of florescence and adaptation that are exemplified by the co-adaptive cycles that occur within this microcosm of Resilience Engineering.

In this video, Dr. David Woods goes deeper into how the two fundamental activities for systems viability, seeking opportunity and managing challenges, inevitably come into conflict with each other. He works through how the short-term and long-term time horizons also interact with each other.

Dr. David Woods describes two important laws of the complex adaptive universe: the Law of Fluency and the Law of Stretched Systems. Through these Laws, he describes how adaptations are critical to the functioning of the system and how they also, if not managed, can contribute to future brittle system performance.

This is a deeper dive video into Robust Yet Fragile (and, of course, the corresponding parts of the Theory of Graceful Extensibility). Dr. David Woods delivers this extended lesson with the help of one of his favorite authors on the topic ... the fantastic Dr. David Woods!

Dr. David Woods takes a deeper dive into the many lines of inquiry that inform Resilience Engineering. Some are from quite unexpected places! Or maybe they're quite expected, as we've clearly found that there are resilient systems patterns that can be found in systems of all sizes, from biological to social to economic to ecological. We're pretty sure this works at sub-atomic up to celestial as...

This video works through how systems engineering has adapted and evolved throughout the last 40 years. Starting with Three Mile Island, David Woods moves between theory and events that he was personally a part of as well as those that he has studied. He turns the lens of Resilience Engineering on the discipline of systems engineering itself, documenting how it has evolved and adapted over this ...

Tradeoffs are a commonplace thing, but how you think about them can change how you address them, outmaneuver them, and change them. However, you can never eliminate them! David Woods shows the visual technique that we used (borrowed from John Doyle) that helps us communicate what a tradeoff, and a tradespace, really is, and provides insights into how to design new solutions that address the mul...

Want to know about Resilience Engineering? You're in the right place! This is the first video in the Cognitive Systems Engineering Laboratory's (CSEL) Resilience Engineering 101 Series. Dr. David Woods, a co-founder of Resilience Engineering, gets us kicked off reminding us all that everything must tie back to Viability, and that Viability is sought by both Seeking Opportunity and Handling Chal...

David Woods starts by describing how successful systems become more complex, then discusses the findings and perspectives of Resilience Engineering (RE) through this lens.

Here we discuss how synchronization is necessary both in seeking opportunity and in managing challenges. It is the primary antidote to working at cross-purposes, and together with anticipation is the antidote to saturation and, ultimately, decompensation.

In our second video, we lay out some fundamentals of systems that come out of our base understanding of how systems manage and outmaneuver constraints to seek opportunity and manage challenge to ultimately sustain viability. The first is that viable systems will become increasingly tangled across layers. The second is that they will have to manage tradespaces, making tradeoffs. The third is tha...

Rayo REA Webinar - Creating a pragmatic proactive safety program

Have you ever heard freestyle rapping about the gritty, no-holds-barred subject of ... cognitive systems engineering? We hadn't either! Then we chaired this panel at the 2024 TDAI Fall Research Forum (tdai.osu.edu/interdisciplinary-fall-forum), who HAD heard of this, and invited a group to listen to our panel and then rap about it immediately afterward. Then we added some gratuitous post-produc...
