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.
Project period: 2021-2023

Scientific value: The project will provide a better terminology and a common understanding of state-of-theart across several areas of research within DIREC and disseminate this knowledge to the scientific community.
Capacity building: The project will establish new collaboration setups within DIREC and involve master students in the activities.
Business value: The project will in workshops disseminate knowledge to Danish industry and identify cases that could be relevant areas of collaboration for DIREC with Danish Industry in future larger projects. The project will among others connect to the community involved in the Nordic IoT Center.
The project will provide better terminology and a common understanding of state-of-the-art across several areas of research within DIREC and disseminate this knowledge to the scientific community.
