The 2020 IEEE International Conference on Human-Machine Systems (ICHMS) will be held in Rome, Italy. ICHMS will provide a remarkable opportunity for the academic and industrial communities to address new challenges and share solutions, and discuss future research directions in the important area of Human-Machines Systems. ICHMS specifically covers contributions on research related to integrated human/machine systems at multiple scales, and includes areas such as human/machine interaction; cognitive ergonomics and engineering; assistive/companion technologies; human/machine system modeling, testing and evaluation; and fundamental issues of measurement and modeling of human-centered phenomena in engineered systems. The organization of ICHMS is based on the following Track types: Conference Theme Track, Regular Track and Special Track (selected through a call). ICHMS will also feature plenary speeches, panel sessions, tutorials, workshops, PhD track and poster sessions. Contributions are expected from academia, industry, and management agencies. All accepted papers will be published in conference proceedings and in IEEE Xplore.
Conference Theme Track: Human-centered Cyber-Physical Systems
————————————————————-
Description: Cyberphysical Systems (CPS), like transport networks or large manufacturing facilities, are naturally human-centric; in fact, they are interacting with a considerable number of distributed computing elements for monitoring, control and management which can exchange information between them and notably with humans. Such complex and physically-entangled systems of systems are of crucial importance for the quality of life of the citizens and for a country economy. Human-machine systems-oriented issues arise at different levels: System, Computing and Interaction.
Topics:
* Cyber Transportation and Human Interaction in Connected and Autonomous Vehicles
* Human-centric Internet of Things: Interaction between Humans and Smart Objects
* Smart Communities living in Smart Cyber-physical Worlds: Towards Dynamic Provision of Cyberphysycal Services to Human Ensembles
* Human Manipulation of Motorized Cyber-Physical Systems
* Co-existence and cooperation of Humans and Robots in Smart Environments
