- W2183260260 abstract "this act deplorable, Fields shouted out: “somebody put pineapple juice in my pineapple juice”! 3 Unhappily, something other than that which was reliably expected by Fields was delivered. In that instance, between one’s expectations and what was received, the “law of least astonishment” was violated. The “law of least astonishment” was amusingly made popular by the writings of James Geoffrey 4 in the 80’s, but the concept and practice were part of a mainstream programming practice, more than a decade earlier; 5 during the adolescence of the computing age. What exactly is the “law of least astonishment”? From a reliability point of view, the “law of least astonishment” is a guidepost to designers and programmers of computer interfaces, propagating a ‘mental checks and balances’ archetype, affirmed by the ideal that interfaces should always perform in a manner originally intended, and not in a manner that will astonish (negatively) those ‘interfaced.’ Elsewhere, centuries preceding the birth of the computing industry, professional practitioners In Medicine had to formally subscribe to a set of principles as they entered their practice. The principles embedded within the Hippocratic Oath emphasized that all practitioners of medicine, “do no harm.” Today, from the design of human-machine interfaces in medical informatics, 6 to structuring knowledge distribution enterprises, 7 determining core values of professional management training, 8 deciding policy vectors to widely institutionalize operational stability of the Internet, 9 to the extent that scientists and scientific personnel within enterprises have been stimulated to engage the world 10 from their positions and professions of choice, have all stemmed from a communal, and a very human desire to be wedded to the ‘law of least astonishment,’ or quite simply, to ‘do no harm.’ Explanation of Relationships… Quite naturally, the rule to ‘do no harm’ is not an alien concept to reliability engineers. Reliability engineers are beings that attempt to professionally thwart the rise of nasty surprises. However, as in other disciplines, reliability engineers are not exempt from challenge to operate in complex institutional settings, where professionals from multiple disciplines, must jointly emerge novel inter-disciplinary solutions to decidedly challenging problems. This requirement to interoperate very often introduces the existence of a reliability ‘fault-line’ particularly in large-scale, highly complex and vastly distributed nature of operations. Just recently, an intriguing thought-piece on reliability in terms of interoperability came across my desk, which attempted to analytically synopsize the results of efforts instituted over the past 40 years to improve the reliability of the United States electric power grid. IEEE-USA’s Debra Schiff interviewed the authors, Dr. Luis Kun - Senior Research Professor of Homeland Security at the Information Resource Management College of National Defense University (NDU), and" @default.
