Personalized Messaging Based on Dynamic Context Assessment: Application in An Informing Cyber-Physical System

Hazard-intense applications of cyber-physical systems (CPSs), such as the evacuation of a building on fire, require personalized informing on the basis of a real-time assessment of dynamic context. In this paper, a context-dependent message construction mechanism (CD-MCM) is proposed with the objectives (i) to inform people about the...

Effects of coherent, integrated, and context-dependent adaptable user interfaces on operators’ situation awareness, performance, and workload

Nautical traffic management in The Netherlands is shifting from local traffic control to corridor traffic management. Current traffic management systems do not sufficiently support operators in perceptual and cognitive process to interpret and understand the large amounts of information needed for corridor traffic management. Newly developed...

A Review of the Principles of Designing Smart Cyber-Physical Systems for Run-Time Adaptation: Learned Lessons and Open Issues

Smart cyber-physical systems (S-CPSs) are complex engineered systems empowered by cyber-physical computing and equipped with the capability of reasoning, learning, adapting, and evolving. As an outcome of data-driven dynamic computing, reasoning capabilities, and the run-time obtained own knowledge, nonlinear and emergent behavior of S-CPSs...

A situation awareness analysis scheme to identify deficiencies of complex man-machine interactions

This paper presents an analysis scheme which aims to support a<br/>systematic study of required situation awareness (RSA). This scheme supports<br/>identification of deficiencies of support for situation awareness (SA).<br/>Information needs are goal and task dependent and can be defined using<br/>existing cognitive task analysis (CTA) methods....

Information engineering for developing and testing coherent, integrated and context-dependent user interfaces

There has been an increase in the amount and complexity of traffic on Dutch inland waterways. Traffic management shifted from local traffic control to corridor traffic management. Due to these changes, operators in nautical traffic management centers experience difficulty to gain and maintain sufficient situation awareness. In our previous...

Conceptualization of a real-time information processing platform for context-aware informing cyber-physical systems

Informing cyber-physical systems (I-CPSs) are designed to accomplish sensing, reasoning and informing activities in dynamic context. In order to<br/>simplify and accelerate the design and implementation process of multiple context-aware ICPSs, we are developing an information sensing,<br/>computing and actuating (SCA) platform that can be used...

A systematic approach to adressing the influence of man-machine interaction on situation awareness

This paper presents a systematic approach towards the study of required situation awareness (RSA) in traffic management context. Current theories are not suitable to clearly define the RSA in complex man-machine interaction (MMI) contexts. Deficiencies of man-machine interaction are difficult to recognize and resolve. This paper analyzes: (i)...
