Call for Papers:

The aim of the workshop will be to promote a discussion able to capture scientific and industrial interests among conference participants on adaptive and cooperative systems. When many humans and machines act together, they need to do it in a highly cooperative way. In order to be cooperative they need to be adaptive to guarantee a fluent task achievement.  Such systems with higher levels of automation are extremely important to enhance safety and confidence of human operators. However, in spite of the recent progresses made in the field, there are still some dimensions neglected.  For example, in the human-machine interaction research field, many of the researches concentrated on cognitive processes such as perception and attention with a lack in the study of high cognitive processes supporting central executive functions, as for example, workload or distraction. As a result, the potential of the Adaptive Cooperative human-machine systems (AdCos) result limited and the lack of compliance with human factors and safety regulation may force to simplify systems to make them certifiable without exploiting the real potential of the AdCos.  Holides (Holistic Human factors and System design of Adaptive Cooperative Human-Machine Systems) is a project which aims to move forward, to research affordable means of compliance which enable to formalize adaptation strategies. A synergy of empirical (predictive human models) and model-based methodologies will aim to develop techniques and tools to formalize adaptation strategies at a global (many humans- many machines) and a local (HMI levels) in a coordinate way.

We solicit both academic, research, and industrial contributions. We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.

Industrial presentations are not subject to the format and content constraints of regular submissions. We expect short and long presentations that express industrial position and status.

Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged.

The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, and industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.

All topics are open to both research and industry contributions.

Adaptive and cooperative systems
Adaptation strategies for global/local human machine-systems
Real-time predictive human models
Model-based methodologies
Holistic formal (human & machine) modelling and accelerated analysis
Automated reconfiguration
