Cyber-physical Systems with humans in the loop

Constructing cyber-physical systems with humans in the loop enables new possibilities for novel application areas (e.g. bio-computing, active learning systems, and intelligent medical systems). Many of the novel applications are imagined, developed, and deployed to enable humans and machines to engage collaboratively in real-world tasks. Thus, these applications have aspects of both Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Socio-Technical Systems (STS) and are characterized by close cooperation between  -software technologies including designing for situational awareness, safety, privacy, usability, and easy error handling.

To establish a collection on the topic the project will define cross-disciplinary terminology about the involved research areas, list challenges focusing on novel application areas, and survey state-of-the art for the identified challenges. In workshops, the project will for the listed challenges map which of them are important for Danish industry to address in future work. The project will combine literature studies with workshops and foster future collaboration to address existing challenges. The project goal is to foster collaboration among DIREC partners on this topic and publish a survey based on the outcomes of the work.
