The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) promulgated the Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals standard (29CFR 1910.119) in 1992. One key provision of the regulation calls for a Mechanical Integrity (MI) program to ensure that process equipment containing and controlling highly hazardous chemicals is maintained to high standards, standards which minimize the chances of accidental release and subsequent injuries or incidents. This article addresses the approach taken by Tennessee Eastman Division in the implementation of the OSHA MI requirements.

In this paper, we explore the knowledge integration challenges that face any large-scale IT implementation project team. We identify how knowledge integration is dependent on social networking processes. We provide evidence from the contrasting experiences of two project teams in two different case
Al~traet--This paper develops decentralized team strategies for decision makers using different models of the same large-scale system. Multiparameter singular perturbations are employed to capture the multimodel nature of the fast dynamic subsystems interconnected through slow dynamic variables. The
While terminology and some concepts of behavior-based robotics have become widespread, the central ideas are often lost as researchers try to scale behavior to higher levels of complexity. "Hybrid systems" with model-based strategies that plan in terms of behaviors rather than simple actions have be
