This chapter introduces a community facilitation model for e-government. The central tenet of this approach is the empowerment of a segment of the population to act, by providing the tools and information necessary to tackle issues that have been difficult to address with traditional approaches to government. Under this model, government provides an initial spark and then plays a supporting role in the growth of the community. By doing so, the costs of the program are minimized while the impact of the program is maximized. We examine the viability of the model by looking at a case study in water quality monitoring. The case illustrates the power of a government facilitated community of action to address an important problem, and it suggests that such a model can be applied globally and may be relevant to government initiatives beyond water monitoring.

Abstract Faults in air-based heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems lead to energy waste and discomfort. While the emphasis of fault detection and diagnostic (FDD) research has been on hard faults in actuators, sensors, and equipment, faults arising from human errors account for a significant portion of faults occurring in HVAC systems. In this paper, human errors occurring in air handling units (AHUs) and variable air volume (VAV) thermal zones during design, construction, and operation phases are identified through a review of the literature. Then, the faults are divided into six main categories. Based on case studies investigating these faults, the impact of each fault category on occupant comfort, energy consumption, and equipment life is discussed. The authors provide recommendations to minimize human errors in AHUs and VAV zones throughout the building life cycle.

The Impact

In healthcare sector, employing human knowledge, on a larger scale, in the decision making process in identifying the risk sources is very common, and often the human error in the process results in adverse effects of unrecognized risks. Hence, the impact of human error in employing the human knowledge remains a major problem. To minimize the human error a fuzzy based risk assessment method using Ranked Risk Breakdown Structure (RRBS) model is proposed in this work. The proposed method is able to rank the risk resources on the basis of a risk score generating mechanism based on the probability of occurrence of risk and outcome of the risk. By recognizing the high ranking risk resources, that is, the risk drivers at higher levels of seriousness/severity, this fuzzy based methodology nullify the existing common human errors. The proposed methodology is validated with the actual past data of one decade period, the occurrence of risk and its effect in a healthcare industry situated in an urban city of India. The results of the experimentation reveal that the proposed methodology can be successfully implemented in all other industries in healthcare sector to minimize the human error in risk recognition. The suggested model is helpful for industrial managers/practitioners to tackle risk factors related with complex works.

The Impact

Information security is the practice of protecting information by mitigating the risk of cyber-attack, and typically includes preventing or reducing the possibility of unauthorized/inappropriate access to data, unlawful use, disclosure, disruption. This concept of information security covers as well various procedures aiming at minimizing the negative effects of such incidents and threats. These threats might be originated from the human behavior which may lead to a wide damage of the organization data assets. Thus, the primary focus of information security is on the balanced protection of confidentiality, integrity and availability of data while maintaining an effective use of the organizations' systems. International standards related to information security such as ISO/IEC 27001 emphasis on effective implementation of the information security policies and applications without hampering the productivity of the organization. This research seeks to draw a set of practical rules to be established within an organization to preserve cybersecurity objectives and protect dada specifically from human errors incidents. The drawn rules are based on ISO/IEC 27001 and its application within organizations will rise the employee’s awareness about their behavior to reduce the impact of such incidents on the organization' systems and data.

The Impact

Along with the development of science and technology, equipment reliability is improving and human error has become an increasingly important threat to the power system reliability and safety. However, there is seldom research for the human errors in electric power generation. In this paper, the classification and the main causes of human errors in power system are analyzed firstly. Then, the influence factors of human error are divided into several groups, which are organizational factors, mission factors, individual factors, environment and equipment factors. By analyzing the impact of different influence factors, an influence factors system of human error in power system is proposed and lays a foundation for the further explorations.

The Impact

Software failures and human errors are the most common reasons of inoparability of computer systems. Computers are increasingly reliable, but the level of transcient faults, caused by errors hidden in the programs, remains the same. For this reason software is becoming the key factor in the synthesis of highly reliable systems. Software errors do not result from operation, they either exist from the start or are inserted when patching or upgrading it. Some errors result from incorrect human interaction or unexpected environmental changes. Assessment of software impact requires functional-reliability approach to reliability analysis: the software fault occurs when it causes incorrect operation and not when it is introduced to the system. It is proposed to use software reliability models in system analysis, to predict the intensity of software faults. The software recovery after a failure is realized by restarts of various extend (microrestarts, minirestarts and macrorestarts). The impact of software failures and restarts on system availability is assessed.

Variability Study

Variability of pavement surface distress data collection has always been an area of significant concern. When conducting evaluations of distress data manually (with raters observing pavements in question, interpreting what they see, and recording on paper) the process is subject to human errors. To minimize the impact of such human errors on these important pavement performance data, sophisticated equipment has been developed to eliminate as much of the human intervention as possible. Such technology is not without its own limitations of precision and bias. With both methodologies being used for the collection of surface distress data for the long-term pavement performance (LTPP) program, questions regarding precision and bias have been identified. In attempting to define the variability of the data for incorporation in stochastic analyses, it has become apparent how diverse and complex these distress data truly are. To adequately quantify the precision and bias, a detailed experiment was designed to evaluate the errors inherent in the different distress data collection methodologies. The facet of the experiment reported targets the variability of human distress surveyors and the biases associated with conducting surveys from film, using a slightly different projection system. Specifically, a collection of surveyors was assembled to establish the variability associated with experienced raters versus novice raters, engineers versus engineering technicians, and teams versus individuals.
