Course plan
No of Lectures
Nine lectures or seminars
Lectures will be given in English.
Recommended for
Students interested in Learning the basics of Cogntitive Systems Engineering (CSE) and how to apply this approach in own research
The course was last given
New course, but similar Courses are part of the Cognitive Science undergraduate and masters program at Linköping university
Goals
After the course the student should be able to
* Use theories/models and methods from Cognitive Systems Engineering (CSE) in
analyzing complex cognitive systems
* Describe how CSE can be used to describe how the performance of a system is
continually adapted to existing circumstances, and how this knowledge can be
used to guard against unexpected consequences
* Describe how to delimit a cognitive system
* Describe why analysis of risks and accidents in these kind of systems are
essential for the ability to utilize them, and to demonstrate knowledge in
common accident models (sequiental, epidemic, and systematic accident models)
Describe the difference between safety 1 and safety 2
