Abstract: | When building a large and complex system, such as satellites, all sorts of risks have to be managed if it were to be successful.
For risks in the design of an artifact, various reliability analysis techniques such as FTA or FMEA have been employed in
the engineering domain. However, risks exist as well in the development process, and they could result in a failure of the
system. In this paper, we present an approach to discovering risks in development process by collecting and organizing information
produced during development process at low cost. We describe a prototype system called IDIMS, and show how it can be used
to discover risks from e-mail communications between developers. The motivation of our work is to overcome thecapture bottleneck problem, and utilize now wasted information to improve development process.
