In Need of a Model for Complexity Assessment of Highly Automated Human Machine Systems

QC 20120329
Current methodologies in engineering relying on strict boundary definitions in order to be comprehensible are generally cost efficient and effective within those boundaries. However, in operational settings systems tend to operate outside those defined borders. The trend of coupling systems in greater constellations will increase the interactions between different systems and thus increase the non-defined behavior even further. Thus, there is a need to define new methods and models that to a larger extent allow the existence of non-nominal system behavior. The main goal of the present research is to improve system performance, by developing tool/model to assess important aspects of complexity which will improve design for operability (McDonald et al., 2009). The purpose of this paper is to identify relevant aspects for analysis in relation to complexity and Human Factors in an ATM future highly automated system. The present paper presents some existing models and principles in complexity theory related to socio-technical systems. The result expands on these to form a set of requirements for future model development.
