Classical combinatorial fault trees can be used to assess combinations of failures but are unable to capture sequences of faults, which are important in complex dynamic systems. A number of proposed techniques extend fault tree analysis for dynamic s... Read More about Reliability analysis of dynamic systems by translating temporal fault trees into Bayesian networks.

Impossible organisations: anarchism and organisational praxis (2014)
Journal Article
Reedy, P. (2014). Impossible organisations: anarchism and organisational praxis. Ephemera: Theory and Politics in Organization, 14(4), 639-658

Organisational scholarship tends to focus its attention mainly on conventional work organisations and so neglects the organisational practices and principles of other sites of organising. The paper considers the implications of this limited focus eve... Read More about Impossible organisations: anarchism and organisational praxis.
