TC 4.1 is concerned with complex cyber physical human machine systems where human factors and tight human machine interaction/coupling play a significant or indispensable role as an integral component. The TC 4.1 key topics may include, but not limited to:
- decision making and cognitive processes
- modeling, analysis, assessment, optimization and regulation of human performance (reliability, resilience, mental workload, situation awareness)
- human and organizational factors in Industry 4.0
- applied, virtual, or augmented environments
- design, analysis and performance evaluation methodology
- task or functional allocation
- intelligent or adaptive human-machine interfaces
- human operator support and functional state assessment
- job design and work organization
- human operator selection and training
- human-machine interaction (HMI)
- cognitive human-machine systems
- human-computer interaction (HCI)
- human-machine symbiosis
- brain-machine interaction
- brain-computer interface
- brain-computer interaction
- human-automation interaction
- human-robot interaction
- human-AI interaction
- human-systems integration
- neuroergonomics
- neurocomputing and psychophysiological computing
- natural cognition
- adaptive automation (or adjustable autonomy)
- adaptive aiding/assistance
- social, ethical and legal implications/impacts of complex HMS
