Chapter 10 – Sociotechnical Systems;Topics covered;Systems;The sociotechnical systems stack ;Layers in the STS stack;Layers in the STS stack;Holistic system design;Complex systems;System categories;Organizational affects;Socio-technical system characteristics;Emergent properties;Examples of emergent properties ;Types of emergent property;Because of component inter-dependencies, faults can be propagated through the system. System failures often occur because of unforeseen inter-relationships between components. It is practically impossible to anticipate all possible component relationships. Software reliability measures may give a false picture of the overall system reliability.;Hardware reliability What is the probability of a hardware component failing and how long does it take to repair that component? Software reliability How likely is it that a software component will produce an incorrect output. Software failure is usually distinct from hardware failure in that software does not wear out. Operator reliability How likely is it that the operator of a system will make an error? Failures are not independent and they propagate from one level to another.;Failure propagation ;Non-determinism;Success criteria;Conflicting views of success;Systems engineering;Stages of systems engineering ;Systems engineering stages;Security and dependability considerations;Professional disciplines involved in systems engineering ;Inter-disciplinary working;Key points;Chapter 10 – Sociotechnical Systems;System procurement;Decision drivers;Procurement and development;System procurement processes;Procurement issues;Contractors and sub-contractors;Procurement and dependability;System development;Systems development ;System requirements definition;The system design process;Requirements and design;Requirements and design spiral ;Sub-system development;The process of putting hardware, software and people together to make a system. Should ideally be tackled incrementally so that sub-
