The document compares four accident analysis models - Events and Causal Factors (ECF), Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), System-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP), and Rasmussen's AcciMaps - in their analysis of a medication dosing error case study involving a computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system.

EVALUATING THE PREDICTED RELIABILITY OF MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS: STATE OF THE ARTmeijjournal
Reliability analysis of mechatronic systems is one of the most young field and dynamic branches of research. It is addressed whenever we want reliable, available, and safe systems.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS USING CLUSTERING. WHAT STATISTICAL TEST TO USE FOR HYPOTHESIS...JaresJournal
Predictive maintenance and condition-based monitoring systems have seen significant prominence in
recent years to minimize the impact of machine downtime on production and its costs. Predictive
maintenance involves using concepts of data mining, statistics, and machine learning to build models that
are capable of performing early fault detection, diagnosing the faults and predicting the time to failure.
Fault diagnosis has been one of the core areas where the actual failure mode of the machine is identified.
In fluctuating environments such as manufacturing, clustering techniques have proved to be more reliable
compared to supervised learning methods. One of the fundamental challenges of clustering is developing a
test hypothesis and choosing an appropriate statistical test for hypothesis testing. Most statistical analyses
use some underlying assumptions of the data which most real-world data is incapable of satisfying those
assumptions. This paper is dedicated to overcoming the following challenge by developing a test hypothesis
for fault diagnosis application using clustering technique and performing PERMANOVA test for hypothesis
testing.

Optimization of network traffic anomaly detection using machine learning IJECEIAES
In this paper, to optimize the process of detecting cyber-attacks, we choose to propose 2 main optimization solutions: Optimizing the detection method and optimizing features. Both of these two optimization solutions are to ensure the aim is to increase accuracy and reduce the time for analysis and detection. Accordingly, for the detection method, we recommend using the Random Forest supervised classification algorithm. The experimental results in section 4.1 have proven that our proposal that use the Random Forest algorithm for abnormal behavior detection is completely correct because the results of this algorithm are much better than some other detection algorithms on all measures. For the feature optimization solution, we propose to use some data dimensional reduction techniques such as information gain, principal component analysis, and correlation coefficient method. The results of the research proposed in our paper have proven that to optimize the cyberattack detection process, it is not necessary to use advanced algorithms with complex and cumbersome computational requirements, it must depend on the monitoring data for selecting the reasonable feature extraction and optimization algorithm as well as the appropriate attack classification and detection algorithms.
Automated face recognition offers an effective method for identifying individuals. Face images have been used in a number of different applications, including driver’s licenses, passports and identification cards. To provide some form of standardization for photographs in these applications, ISO / IEC JTC 1 SC 37 have developed standardized data interchange formats to promote interoperability. There are many different publically available face databases available to the research community that are used to advance the field of face recognition algorithms, amongst other uses. In this paper, we examine how an existing database that has been used extensively in research (FERET) compares with two operational data sets with respect to some of the metrics outlined in the standard ISO / IEC 19794-5. The goals of this research are to provide the community with a comparison of a baseline data set and to compare this baseline to a photographic data set that has been scanned in from mug-shot photographs, as well as a data set of digitally captured photographs. It is hoped that this information will provide Face Recognition System (FRS) developers some guidance on the characteristics of operationally collected data sets versus a controlled-collection database.

The increasing use of distributed authentication architecture
has made interoperability of systems an important issue. Interoperabil ity of systems affects the maturity of the technology and also improves confidence of users in the technology. Biometric systems are not immune to the concerns of interoperability. Interoperability of fingerprint sensors and its effect on the overall performance of the recognition system is an area of interest with a considerable amount of work directed
towards it. This research analyzed effects of interoperability on error rates for fingerprint datasets captured from two optical sensors and a capacitive sensor when using a single commercially available fingerprint
matching algorithm. The main aim of this research was to emulate a
centralized storage and matching architecture with multiple acquisition
stations. Fingerprints were collected from 44 individuals on all three sensors and interoperable False Reject Rates of less than .31% were achieved using two different enrolment strategies.
A Survey and Comparative Study of Filter and Wrapper Feature Selection Techni...theijes
Feature selection is considered as a problem of global combinatorial optimization in machine learning, which reduces the number of features, removes irrelevant, noisy and redundant data. However, identification of useful features from hundreds or even thousands of related features is not an easy task. Selecting relevant genes from microarray data becomes even more challenging owing to the high dimensionality of features, multiclass categories involved and the usually small sample size. In order to improve the prediction accuracy and to avoid incomprehensibility due to the number of features different feature selection techniques can be implemented. This survey classifies and analyzes different approaches, aiming to not only provide a comprehensive presentation but also discuss challenges and various performance parameters. The techniques are generally classified into three; filter, wrapper and hybrid.

BEARINGS PROGNOSTIC USING MIXTURE OF GAUSSIANS HIDDEN MARKOV MODEL AND SUPPOR...IJNSA Journal
Prognostic of future health state relies on the estimation of the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of physical
systems or components based on their current health state. RUL can be estimated by using three main
approaches: model-based, experience-based and data-driven approaches. This paper deals with a datadriven
prognostics method which is based on the transformation of the data provided by the sensors into
models that are able to characterize the behavior of the degradation of bearings.
For this purpose, we used Support Vector Machine (SVM) as modeling tool. The experiments on the
recently published data base taken from the platform PRONOSTIA clearly show the superiority of the
proposed approach compared to well established method in literature like Mixture of Gaussian Hidden
Markov Models (MoG-HMMs).
Model based test case prioritization using neural network classificationcseij
Model-based testing for real-life software systems often require a large number of tests, all of which cannot
exhaustively be run due to time and cost constraints. Thus, it is necessary to prioritize the test cases in
accordance with their importance the tester perceives. In this paper, this problem is solved by improving
our given previous study, namely, applying classification approach to the results of our previous study
functional relationship between the test case prioritization group membership and the two attributes:
important index and frequency for all events belonging to given group are established. A for classification
purpose, neural network (NN) that is the most advances is preferred and a data set obtained from our study
for all test cases is classified using multilayer perceptron (MLP) NN. The classification results for
commercial test prioritization application show the high classification accuracies about 96% and the
acceptable test prioritization performances are achieved.
This paper presents a set of methods that uses a genetic algorithm for automatic test-data generation in
software testing. For several years researchers have proposed several methods for generating test data
which had different drawbacks. In this paper, we have presented various Genetic Algorithm (GA) based test
methods which will be having different parameters to automate the structural-oriented test data generation
on the basis of internal program structure. The factors discovered are used in evaluating the fitness
function of Genetic algorithm for selecting the best possible Test method. These methods take the test
populations as an input and then evaluate the test cases for that program. This integration will help in
improving the overall performance of genetic algorithm in search space exploration and exploitation fields
with better convergence rate.
An SPRT Procedure for an Ungrouped Data using MMLE ApproachIOSR Journals
This document describes a sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) procedure for analyzing ungrouped software failure data using a modified maximum likelihood estimation (MMLE) approach. The SPRT procedure can help quickly detect unreliable software by making decisions with fewer observed failures than traditional hypothesis testing methods. Parameters are estimated using MMLE, which approximates functions in the maximum likelihood equation with linear functions to simplify calculations compared to other estimation methods. The document provides details on how to apply the SPRT procedure and MMLE parameter estimation to a software reliability growth model to analyze software failure data sequentially and detect unreliable software components earlier.
IRJET- Anomaly Detection System in CCTV Derived VideosIRJET Journal
This document describes a proposed system for anomaly detection in CCTV videos using deep learning techniques. The system has two main components: 1) feature extraction using convolutional neural networks to learn representations of normal behavior from training videos, and 2) an anomaly detection classifier to identify abnormal events in new videos based on the learned features. Several related works incorporating techniques like k-means clustering, decision trees, and neural networks for video-based anomaly detection are also reviewed. The methodology section outlines the overall framework, including preprocessing steps and separate training and testing phases to extract normal features and then detect anomalies.
MitoGame: Gamification Method for Detecting Mitosis from Histopathological I...IRJET Journal
This document proposes a method called MitoGame that uses gamification and crowdsourcing to detect mitosis in histopathological breast cancer images. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are trained on expert-annotated images to generate ground truth labels. Non-expert crowds then annotate images through an online game for mitosis detection. The crowd annotations are aggregated and used to retrain the CNNs, improving their ability to detect mitosis. This allows large datasets to be annotated without relying solely on medical experts. Analysis shows crowds can perform as well as experts at this task when guided by a game interface and CNN predictions. The goal is to leverage crowdsourcing to help train accurate CNN models for automated mitosis detection and breast cancer
Abstract—Biometric systems are increasingly deployed in networked environment, and issues related to interoperability are bound to arise as single vendor, monolithic architectures become less desirable. Interoperability issues affect every subsystem of the biometric system, and a statistical framework to evaluate interoperability is proposed. The framework was applied to the acquisition subsystem for a fingerprint recognition system and the results were evaluated using the framework. Fingerprints were collected from 100 subjects on 6 fingerprint sensors. The results show that performance of interoperable fingerprint datasets is not easily predictable and the proposed framework can aid in removing unpredictability to some degree.
This document discusses an unsupervised feature selection method using swarm intelligence and consensus clustering to improve automatic fault detection and diagnosis in HVAC systems. The proposed method selects important features from original HVAC sensor measurements based on relative entropy between low and high frequency features. When applied to fault data from ASHRAE Project 1312-RP, the selected features achieved the least redundancy compared to other selection methods. Two time-series classification algorithms (NARX-TDNN and HMM) using the selected features achieved high weighted average sensitivity and specificity (over 96% and 86% respectively) for fault detection and diagnosis. The unsupervised feature selection method can potentially improve fault detection performance when applied to other model-based systems.
The document outlines the stages of a risk assessment process for a chemical company. It begins with defining harm, hazard, and risk. It then describes the six main stages of risk assessment: 1) describing the system, 2) defining safe process conditions, 3) identifying hazards, 4) assessing hazards by impact and probability, 5) evaluating risks, and 6) establishing measures and assessing residual risk. The risk assessment process helps ensure safety by identifying risks and implementing targeted safety measures before new processes are started.

Security Introspection for Software ReuseIRJET Journal
1) The document examines the relationship between software reuse and security vulnerabilities by analyzing 1244 open-source projects.
2) The results indicate that the number of potential vulnerabilities in native and reused code is related to the scale of development. Additionally, the number of dependencies is closely related to the number of vulnerabilities.
3) Software reuse is neither a panacea that fully addresses vulnerabilities nor does it inherently lead to an excessive number; the relationship between reuse and security vulnerabilities depends on factors like the scale of the project.
APPLICATION OF FUZZY LOGIC IN RISK ASSESSMENT OF FAILURES AND ACCIDENTS FOR T...Rustem Baiburin
The majority of existing methods of risk assessment of trunk oil pipelines is based on probability and classical set theory. These methods do not take into consideration the fact that any complex system, such as trunk oil pipelines, is a dynamic system with a set of uncertain data. The results of risk assessment (likelihood), obtained by the traditional methods, don’t reflect the real situation about the condition of system.
The article presents a methodical approach to identification of risk factors sources and assessment of the level of risk based on system analysis and fuzzy set theory, and this approach allows us to receive output conclusion about risk level in dynamic area of a complex system. The principles of fuzzy logic in the evaluation of diverse parameters of risk factors allow bringing them to a qualitative common denominator. As a result, we can perform comparative research of separate risk factors and also summarize them for assessment of current risk level of trunk oil pipelines.
We reviewed causes of incidents and failures on trunk oil pipelines and have identified the most important risk factors that have greatest consequences. Risk factors in our method are determined by fuzzy set rules, which are a result of data analysis (accident reports, failure records for the similar pipelines) and experts evaluation of related input parameters. Risk factors and their parameters are classified in accordance with their relation to different environment and life-cycle stages.
The article presents an example of evaluation of risk factor <development>. Consequently, the indicator of risk factor was calculated in accordance with procedure of Mamdani fuzzy inference system (using the MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Designer).
This method of risk assessment brings high opportunities for identification of the pipeline segments, where the risk level is most probably high and helps the decision maker to take remedial actions to mitigate potential risks. The operator can more effectively manage resources and improve efficiency of actions. Ability to reflect the current risk level is key advantage of our approach to risk assessment of risk management of trunk oil pipelines.

function of Genetic algorithm for selecting the best possible Test method. These methods take the test
populations as an input and then evaluate the test cases for that program. This integration will help in

An SPRT Procedure for an Ungrouped Data using MMLE ApproachIOSR Journals
This document describes a sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) procedure for analyzing ungrouped software failure data using a modified maximum likelihood estimation (MMLE) approach. The SPRT procedure can help quickly detect unreliable software by making decisions with fewer observed failures than traditional hypothesis testing methods. Parameters are estimated using MMLE, which approximates functions in the maximum likelihood equation with linear functions to simplify calculations compared to other estimation methods. The document provides details on how to apply the SPRT procedure and MMLE parameter estimation to a software reliability growth model to analyze software failure data sequentially and detect unreliable software components earlier.
IRJET- Anomaly Detection System in CCTV Derived VideosIRJET Journal
This document describes a proposed system for anomaly detection in CCTV videos using deep learning techniques. The system has two main components: 1) feature extraction using convolutional neural networks to learn representations of normal behavior from training videos, and 2) an anomaly detection classifier to identify abnormal events in new videos based on the learned features. Several related works incorporating techniques like k-means clustering, decision trees, and neural networks for video-based anomaly detection are also reviewed. The methodology section outlines the overall framework, including preprocessing steps and separate training and testing phases to extract normal features and then detect anomalies.
MitoGame: Gamification Method for Detecting Mitosis from Histopathological I...IRJET Journal
This document proposes a method called MitoGame that uses gamification and crowdsourcing to detect mitosis in histopathological breast cancer images. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are trained on expert-annotated images to generate ground truth labels. Non-expert crowds then annotate images through an online game for mitosis detection. The crowd annotations are aggregated and used to retrain the CNNs, improving their ability to detect mitosis. This allows large datasets to be annotated without relying solely on medical experts. Analysis shows crowds can perform as well as experts at this task when guided by a game interface and CNN predictions. The goal is to leverage crowdsourcing to help train accurate CNN models for automated mitosis detection and breast cancer
Abstract—Biometric systems are increasingly deployed in networked environment, and issues related to interoperability are bound to arise as single vendor, monolithic architectures become less desirable. Interoperability issues affect every subsystem of the biometric system, and a statistical framework to evaluate interoperability is proposed. The framework was applied to the acquisition subsystem for a fingerprint recognition system and the results were evaluated using the framework. Fingerprints were collected from 100 subjects on 6 fingerprint sensors. The results show that performance of interoperable fingerprint datasets is not easily predictable and the proposed framework can aid in removing unpredictability to some degree.
This document discusses an unsupervised feature selection method using swarm intelligence and consensus clustering to improve automatic fault detection and diagnosis in HVAC systems. The proposed method selects important features from original HVAC sensor measurements based on relative entropy between low and high frequency features. When applied to fault data from ASHRAE Project 1312-RP, the selected features achieved the least redundancy compared to other selection methods. Two time-series classification algorithms (NARX-TDNN and HMM) using the selected features achieved high weighted average sensitivity and specificity (over 96% and 86% respectively) for fault detection and diagnosis. The unsupervised feature selection method can potentially improve fault detection performance when applied to other model-based systems.
The document outlines the stages of a risk assessment process for a chemical company. It begins with defining harm, hazard, and risk. It then describes the six main stages of risk assessment: 1) describing the system, 2) defining safe process conditions, 3) identifying hazards, 4) assessing hazards by impact and probability, 5) evaluating risks, and 6) establishing measures and assessing residual risk. The risk assessment process helps ensure safety by identifying risks and implementing targeted safety measures before new processes are started.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY PREDICTION AND ITS DEPLOYMENTIRJET Journal
This document presents research on using machine learning models to predict environmental quality by analyzing data from environmental sensors. The researchers implemented classification algorithms like decision trees, logistic regression, naive bayes, random forest and support vector machines to predict air quality using metrics like accuracy. They found that the decision tree algorithm achieved the highest accuracy of 99.8% among the other models. The proposed system aims to develop a more effective machine learning model for air quality prediction compared to existing image-based techniques, in order to help monitor pollution levels and protect public health.
Security Introspection for Software ReuseIRJET Journal
1) The document examines the relationship between software reuse and security vulnerabilities by analyzing 1244 open-source projects.
2) The results indicate that the number of potential vulnerabilities in native and reused code is related to the scale of development. Additionally, the number of dependencies is closely related to the number of vulnerabilities.
3) Software reuse is neither a panacea that fully addresses vulnerabilities nor does it inherently lead to an excessive number; the relationship between reuse and security vulnerabilities depends on factors like the scale of the project.
APPLICATION OF FUZZY LOGIC IN RISK ASSESSMENT OF FAILURES AND ACCIDENTS FOR T...Rustem Baiburin
The majority of existing methods of risk assessment of trunk oil pipelines is based on probability and classical set theory. These methods do not take into consideration the fact that any complex system, such as trunk oil pipelines, is a dynamic system with a set of uncertain data. The results of risk assessment (likelihood), obtained by the traditional methods, don’t reflect the real situation about the condition of system.
The article presents a methodical approach to identification of risk factors sources and assessment of the level of risk based on system analysis and fuzzy set theory, and this approach allows us to receive output conclusion about risk level in dynamic area of a complex system. The principles of fuzzy logic in the evaluation of diverse parameters of risk factors allow bringing them to a qualitative common denominator. As a result, we can perform comparative research of separate risk factors and also summarize them for assessment of current risk level of trunk oil pipelines.
We reviewed causes of incidents and failures on trunk oil pipelines and have identified the most important risk factors that have greatest consequences. Risk factors in our method are determined by fuzzy set rules, which are a result of data analysis (accident reports, failure records for the similar pipelines) and experts evaluation of related input parameters. Risk factors and their parameters are classified in accordance with their relation to different environment and life-cycle stages.
The article presents an example of evaluation of risk factor <development>. Consequently, the indicator of risk factor was calculated in accordance with procedure of Mamdani fuzzy inference system (using the MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Designer).
This method of risk assessment brings high opportunities for identification of the pipeline segments, where the risk level is most probably high and helps the decision maker to take remedial actions to mitigate potential risks. The operator can more effectively manage resources and improve efficiency of actions. Ability to reflect the current risk level is key advantage of our approach to risk assessment of risk management of trunk oil pipelines.

The DETER Project: Towards Structural Advances in Experimental Cybersecurity ...DETER-Project
Abstract: It is widely argued that today's largely reactive, "respond and patch" approach to securing cyber systems must yield to a new, more rigorous, more proactive methodology. Achieving this transformation is a difficult challenge. Building on insights into requirements for cyber science and on experience gained through 8 years of operation, the DETER project is addressing one facet of this problem: the development of transformative advances in methodology and facilities for experimental cybersecurity research and system evaluation. These advances in experiment design and research methodology are yielding progressive improvements not only in experiment scale, complexity, diversity, and repeatability, but also in the ability of researchers to leverage prior experimental efforts of others within the community. We describe in this paper the trajectory of the DETER project towards a new experimental science and a transformed facility for cyber-security research development and evaluation.

NEURAL NETWORKS WITH DECISION TREES FOR DIAGNOSIS ISSUEScscpconf
1) The document presents a new technique for fault detection and isolation that uses neural networks to generate models of normal and faulty system behaviors. A decision tree is then used to evaluate residuals and isolate faults.
2) The technique is demonstrated on a benchmark process for an electro-pneumatic valve actuator. Neural networks are used to generate models of the actuator's normal and 19 possible faulty behaviors.
3) A decision tree structure is proposed to simplify online fault diagnosis by only evaluating the most significant residuals needed at each step to isolate faults. This reduces computational effort compared to evaluating all residuals.
NEURAL NETWORKS WITH DECISION TREES FOR DIAGNOSIS ISSUEScsitconf
This paper presents a new idea for fault detection and isolation (FDI) technique which is
applied to industrial system. This technique is based on Neural Networks fault-free and Faulty
behaviours Models (NNFMs). NNFMs are used for residual generation, while decision tree
architecture is used for residual evaluation. The decision tree is realized with data collected
from the NNFM’s outputs and is used to isolate detectable faults depending on computed
threshold. Each part of the tree corresponds to specific residual. With the decision tree, it
becomes possible to take the appropriate decision regarding the actual process behaviour by
evaluating few numbers of residuals. In comparison to usual systematic evaluation of all
residuals, the proposed technique requires less computational effort and can be used for on line
diagnosis. An application example is presented to illustrate and confirm the effectiveness and
the accuracy of the proposed approach.

EVALUATING THE PREDICTED RELIABILITY OF MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS: STATE OF THE ARTmeijjournal
Reliability analysis of mechatronic systems is one of the most young field and dynamic branches of research. It is addressed whenever we want reliable, available, and safe systems. The studies of reliability must be conducted earlier during the design phase, in order to reduce costs and the number of prototypes required in the validation of the system. The process of reliability is then deployed throughout the full cycle of development; this process is broken down into three major phases: the predictive reliability, the experimental reliability and operational reliability. The main objective of this article is a kind of portrayal of the various studies enabling a noteworthy mastery of the predictive reliability. The weak points are highlighted, in addition presenting an overview of all approaches existing in quantitative and qualitative modeling and evaluating the reliability prediction is so important for the futures reliability studies, and for academic researches to innovate other new methods and tools. the Mechatronic system is a hybrid system; it is dynamic, reconfigurable, and interactive. The modeling carried out of reliability prediction must take into account these criteria. Several methodologies have been developed in this track of research. In this article, we will try to handle them from a critical angle.

8. Method 1. The chord is longer, when
its middle lays in a circle entered in a
triangle. The radius of this entered
new circle is equal to half of radius of
an initial circle. Hence, the area of
the entered circle is ¼ of the area of
an initial circle
Point 3. One problem can be solved by various correct
probability methods, but results can essentially differ!
Let’s remember paradox of Bertrand J.L.
(book “Calcul des probabilites”, 1889)
Simple problem. To find probability of that at random chord is longer than the party
of the equipotential triangle entered in a circle
by area
P = ¼
by arches
P = 1/3
by radius
P = 1/2
Method 3. Let's choose a random
point on radius of a circle and we
take a chord which is perpendicular
to this radius and passes through the
chosen point. Then the chord is
longer if the point lays on that half of
radius which is near to centre. P=1/2
Method 2. Triangle tops divide
a circle into three equal
arches, and the casual chord
is longer if it crosses this
triangle, i.e. the required
probability is equal 1/3
All results are correct but difference is 100%

Conclusion 1
For the spheres of industrial, fire, radiating, nuclear, aviation safety in
which already there were numerous facts of tragedies - requirements to
admissible risks are expressed quantitatively at probability level and
qualitatively at level of necessary requirements to the initial materials, used

Conclusion 2
For the spheres of chemical, biological, transport, ecological safety,

the conditions of terrorist threats – requirements to admissible risks are
set mainly at qualitative level in the form of requirements to performance.

Input: a frequency of essential events - to 100 conditional events at 1h, there are no more 1 % of
potentially dangerous events. Speed of semantic interpretation of event makes about 30 sec.
Frequency of errors of the dispatching personnel and failures of software of SCADA-system is 1
error in a year
Example 1. Estimation of data gathering and processing in control
station. What about the risk of inadequate interpretation of events
by the dispatcher for 1 hour, 8 hours (one shift), 1 month, 1 year
and 10 years of operation of SCADA-system?
Such levels of risks for SCADA-systems can be
recognized as acceptable

Input: a frequency of critical situations is 3 events per year, the mean time of situation evolution
before damaging is 1 hour. The railroad tracks integrity is confirmed on the central control station
once in a day while the dispatcher shifts are changed. Duration of integrity control is 1 hour on
average, the mean time between mistakes for the shift of monitoring to be 1 week or more.
Example 2. Estimation of control and monitoring for railroad
tracks. What about the risk of uncontrolling situation for a
time period of 1 month, 1 year, and 10 years
To decrease risks the mean time between mistakes for the dispatcher
personnel should be increased, the time of carrying out control and
repairing damages should be shorten to several days or even hours

Improvement
1. Input (different
characteristics of time,
frequency and expenses for
standard processes) are
identical. Models are based
on the theory for random
processes. As consequence –
metrics are understandable,
these are probabilities of
successful development of
processes or risks of failure
2. Services through Internet
are more cheaper, than
calculations by existing way
1. All organizations receive access to quality and risks analysis on uniform
mathematical models according to requirements of system standards and taking
into account experience and admissible risks for systems in different spheres
2. Training is accessible to all connected to Internet
