(a) The software failure incident having happened again at one_organization:
The article does not mention any specific incident of software failure happening again within the same organization or with its products and services. Therefore, there is no information available to indicate a repeated software failure incident within the same organization.
(b) The software failure incident having happened again at multiple_organization:
The article does not provide information about similar incidents of software failure happening at other organizations or with their products and services. Hence, there is no mention of a repeated software failure incident across multiple organizations in the articles provided. |
| Phase (Design/Operation) |
design, operation |
(a) The software failure incident related to the design phase:
The article mentions that the German Navy's latest warship, the Baden-Württemberg, has faced delays and technology challenges, particularly with its central computer system not passing necessary tests. The ship had to return to port to resolve unspecified technology issues related to the IT infrastructure [66978].
(b) The software failure incident related to the operation phase:
The article discusses that troubleshooting the IT problems on the ship can be a tough task, as all software and hardware faults of the IT systems used on the ship must be eliminated for acceptance trials to be carried out. The spokesman mentioned that defects are often found at interfaces between subsystems, making their analysis more difficult [66978]. |
| Boundary (Internal/External) |
within_system |
(a) The software failure incident related to the German Navy's Baden-Württemberg warship appears to be primarily within_system. The articles mention that the ship's central computer system faced technology challenges and had not passed necessary tests, leading to delays in trials and operability issues [66978]. The spokesman for Thyssenkrupp, the company leading the consortium building the ships, mentioned that necessary revisions caused delays in proving the ship's operability, indicating internal software issues [66978]. Additionally, troubleshooting activities were planned to be carried out by the consortium to address IT problems within the ship's systems [66978].
(b) The software failure incident does not seem to have significant contributing factors originating from outside the system. The reported issues, such as problems with radar, electronics, flameproof coating, and the ship listing slightly to its starboard side, were mentioned as internal challenges being resolved by the ARGE F125 consortium [66978]. The criticism about the ship lacking necessary weaponry for anti-submarine warfare also pertains to internal design decisions rather than external factors impacting the software failure incident. |
| Nature (Human/Non-human) |
non-human_actions, human_actions |
(a) The software failure incident occurring due to non-human actions:
The software failure incident related to the German Navy's Baden-Württemberg warship was primarily attributed to technology challenges and issues with the ship's central computer system during sea trials. The ship's IT infrastructure faced problems that needed to be resolved, leading to delays in the trials to prove its operability [66978].
(b) The software failure incident occurring due to human actions:
The delays and technology challenges faced by the Baden-Württemberg warship were also influenced by human actions, such as necessary revisions and troubleshooting activities carried out by the ARGE F125 consortium and the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology, and In-Service Support (BAAINBw). The integration of various systems and fulfilling increased reliability requirements associated with intensive use posed significant challenges for the manufacturers and project participants [66978]. |
| Dimension (Hardware/Software) |
software |
(a) The articles do not specifically mention any hardware-related failures contributing to the software failure incident reported in the context of the German Navy's Baden-Württemberg warship [66978].
(b) The software failure incident reported in the articles is primarily related to the ship's central computer system not passing necessary tests, leading to delays in trials to prove its operability. The IT infrastructure problems on the ship required troubleshooting activities and elimination of open items by the ARGE F125 consortium. The spokesman for BAAINBw mentioned that all software and hardware faults of the IT systems used on the ship must be eliminated for outstanding acceptance trials to be carried out. Troubleshooting the IT problems was described as a tough task, with defects often found at interfaces between subsystems, making analysis more difficult [66978]. |
| Objective (Malicious/Non-malicious) |
non-malicious |
(a) The articles do not mention any indication of a malicious software failure incident related to the German Navy's Baden-Württemberg warship. There is no information suggesting that the software issues or delays were caused by human factors with the intent to harm the system [66978].
(b) The software failure incident related to the Baden-Württemberg warship appears to be non-malicious. The delays and technology challenges faced by the warship are attributed to issues with the central computer system, IT infrastructure, and various software and hardware faults. The articles highlight that the software and hardware faults of the IT systems used on the ship must be eliminated to carry out acceptance trials, and troubleshooting the IT problems is a tough task. These issues are described as challenges in integrating various systems and fulfilling increased reliability requirements, rather than being caused by malicious intent [66978]. |
| Intent (Poor/Accidental Decisions) |
poor_decisions |
(a) The software failure incident related to the delays and technology challenges faced by the German Navy's warship, the Baden-Württemberg, can be attributed to poor decisions. The delays in the trials and operability issues were caused by necessary revisions and troubleshooting activities required for the IT infrastructure of the ship [66978]. Additionally, critics questioned whether the German military ordered the Baden-Württemberg without the necessary weaponry for anti-submarine warfare, indicating potential poor decisions in the procurement process [66978]. |
| Capability (Incompetence/Accidental) |
development_incompetence, unknown |
(a) The software failure incident related to development incompetence is evident in the case of the German Navy's Baden-Württemberg warship. The ship's central computer system faced issues during sea trials, leading to delays and technology challenges. The spokesman for Thyssenkrupp, the company leading the consortium building the ships, mentioned that necessary revisions caused delays in proving the ship's operability, highlighting the challenges faced in integrating new technologies and systems [66978].
(b) The software failure incident related to accidental factors is not explicitly mentioned in the provided articles. |
| Duration |
temporary |
(a) The software failure incident related to the German Navy's Baden-Württemberg warship can be considered temporary. The ship's central computer system faced technology challenges during sea trials, leading to delays in proving its operability. The necessary revisions and troubleshooting activities were planned to resolve the IT infrastructure problems, indicating a temporary setback [66978]. |
| Behaviour |
crash, other |
(a) crash: The article mentions that the ship's central computer system has not passed the necessary tests, leading to delays in the trials to prove its operability. The ship had to return to port to resolve unspecified technology issues, indicating a crash or failure due to the system losing state and not performing its intended functions [66978].
(b) omission: The article does not explicitly mention any instances of the system omitting to perform its intended functions at an instance(s).
(c) timing: The article does not provide information about the system performing its intended functions correctly but too late or too early.
(d) value: The article does not mention any specific instances of the system performing its intended functions incorrectly.
(e) byzantine: The article does not describe the system behaving erroneously with inconsistent responses and interactions.
(f) other: The article discusses software and hardware faults of the IT systems used on the ship that must be eliminated for acceptance trials to be carried out. It mentions that defects are often found at interfaces between subsystems, making their analysis more difficult. This could indicate a type of failure not explicitly covered by the options provided, possibly related to integration issues or complex interactions between different systems [66978]. |
