Universities invest considerable efforts in changing their curricula, developing new master and bachelor programs to respond to these new challenges. Currently, such courses and programs are not available in Ukraine. This paper presents our practical experience in developing such courses under Tempus projects. These programs might be based on the concept of research cases. The research case is an approach to research that focuses on gaining an in-depth understanding of a particular entity or event at a specific time. It includes the practical task settled by tutor, selection of methods by students, and presentation of results as a training paper. This approach might help to improve the student selfdevelopment, their knowledges and mental capabilities. It might facilitate their possible involvement into research activities focused on solving the problems of smart grid security and safety.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">165</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eugene Brezhnev</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">An Approach for Assessing Risk of Common Cause Failures in Critical Infrastructures</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">common cause failures</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">coupling factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Critical Infrastructure</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">multiple failures</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">safety</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">199-210</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This paper presents the technique for the critical infrastructure (CI) risk assessment based on Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), modified for multiple failures’ criticality assessment. The multiple failures (MFs) are significant contributors to risk in critical infrastructure. In spite of the low frequency of multiple failures’ occurrence, the severity of their consequences could lead directly to the CI’s accident and malfunctions. The influences of multiple failures should be taken into consideration as early as possible at the design stage. The paper presents classification of MFs, their root causes and coupling factors that stipulate the common susceptibility of systems to shared cause. The common cause failures (CCFs) are a subset of the dependant multiple failures. The qualitative procedure developed in the paper considers the consequences’ severity of CCFs on different I&amp;C system levels. The total severity of CCFs is presented as a sum of severities for each level. The results of FMECA for single independent failures are taken as initial data to perform FMECA for MFs</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record></records></xml>
