Abstract

Complex systems require an integrated approach to risks. In this paper, we describe risk engineering, a methodology to incorporate risks at the planning and design stage for complex systems, and introduce some of its components. We examine, at a high level, how risk engineering can help improve the risk picture for blockchain technologies and their applications and outline challenges and benefits of this approach.
