A Dynamic Modular Ecosystem Approach for Risk Assessment Systems: Feasibility, design methodology, and generalisable application to a case study on ionising radiation and space exploration scenarios with realisation of a proof of concept

Abstract

It is proposed a design methodology definition for a system of systems (or “ecosystem”) for risk assessment, including elements based on different approaches and technologies, and its development and validation through application to a case study, radiation health risk hazard in the context of long-term space exploration, including a Proof of Concept. Characteristics and reasons for the choice of the case study are discussed, together with results of the analysis so far, possible evolution, and possible generalisation to a number of cases beyond and outside the case study, for other types of risks or even not for risk assessment
