Predicting Failures in Smart Human-Centric Ecosystems

Smart cities, smart grids, and in general Smart Human-centric Ecosystems (SHEs) emerge from the co-existence of many systems that operate according to independently owned specifications, and evolve over time. SHEs may fail despite the correct behavior of the systems that comprise the SHEs. Fully testing SHEs on testbeds to prevent failures in production is impossible, and scenarios that may lead to catastrophic SHE failures are unavoidable.
