Abstract
Human reliability analysis is a discipline that focuses on understanding and assessing human behavior during its interactions with complex engineered systems. Central to the discipline are human reliability models and data collection efforts. This paper briefly reviews the state of the art in human reliability analysis and evaluates it against a set of criteria that can be established when it is viewed as a science.
