RussianQuestion
I know this is not a programming problem, but this problem is related to computer systems I am posting this question.
Can somebody tell me a good place to find out information related to catastrophic disasters due to software system failures? For example incidents like Therac-25.
The risk digest is a good place, but information it provides for each case is not enough for my requirement.
Thanks
Solution
There are a couple of other places that spring to mind if the Risks archive is not sufficient.
One is Robert Glass's book 'Software Runaways: Catastrophic Disasters due to Software System Failures'.
The other is P G Neumann's book based on the Risks archive, 'Computer-Related Risks', which is now a bit dated (1994; wow, time flies!).
Glass also has a book 'ComputingFailure.com' that is apposite. You might consider 'Death March' and 'Decline and Fall of the American Programmer' (Yourdon) as related too.
