Re-Configuration of Human-Machine Cooperation

HoliDes addresses development and qualification of Adaptive Cooperative
Human-Machine Sys-tems (AdCoS) where many humans and many machines act together,
cooperatively, in a highly adaptive way. They adapt to each other and to the
context to guarantee fluent and cooperative task achievement. Such systems with
higher levels of automation are urgently needed to enhance safety and to increase
the confidence of human operators. However, adaptiveness in Cooperative
Human-Machine Systems on the Health, Aeronautics, Control Rooms and Automotive
market is still sadly limited. The development and especially the qualification
and certification of AdCoS in-volving several interactive Embedded Systems are
not yet well-mastered in industrial develop-ment. The lack of adequate means of
compliance with human factors and safety regulations may force the designers to
simplify systems in order to make them certifiable. This clearly compromises the
huge potential AdCoS could have on increasing overall safety. In order to unleash
this potential HoliDes will research affordable means of compliance which enable
to formalize adaptation strat-egies on global many humans - many machines levels
and local HMI levels in a coordinated way. This will be achieved by developing
techniques & tools on 5 research dimensions: (1) automated AdCoS re-configuration
based on e.g. real-time predictive human models; (2) holistic formal (hu-man &
machine) modelling and accelerated analysis; (3) new empirical task, exploration
and vali-dation analyses of AdCoS; (4) a formalized synergetic empirical and
model-based methodology; (5) integration of all techniques & tools in a Human
Factors Reference Technology Platform (HF-RTP) to foster interoperability and to
support human factors along the whole engineering life-cycle. The HF-RTP will be
closely connected to the technically oriented CESAR RTP to enable holistic
devel-opment & qualification from both perspectives human factors and technical
systems design.
