Towards a new methodology for designing dynamic distributed cooperative human-machine systems

Abstract : New challenges for Human Machine System arise from the ever increasing complexity in each embedded system component as well as from the distributed nature of future systems. Therefore, a new methodology for development and evaluation of Dynamic and Distributed Human Machine Systems (DCoS) is required. This methodology will need to be supported as well with efficient Methods, Techniques and Tools for system development. The proposed methodology will be used in the project D3CoS (www.d3cos.eu) for the development and evaluation of DCoS in four different domains. Described here is a an initial version of this methodology and some evaluation results.
