Making Innovation Dependable
This Fellowship investigates the challenges to "dependable innovation" in the context of the extended network organisation and modular technology production.
Today it is no longer sufficient for products and technologies to be innovative, they also have to be dependable (i.e. reliable, available, safe and secure). Technology validation, including virtual and physical testing, is the principal means by which dependability can be achieved; yet, despite its importance, testing remains a neglected feature of the innovation process.
What are the challenges to verifying the properties of products (processes and services) whose design, production and maintenance are distributed across extended organisational networks?
