Safety enhancement through situation-aware user interfaces
This work addresses safety and user experience challenges in mission-critical systems, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing concepts like context-awareness and autonomic adaptation.
The paper tackled the problem of enhancing safety in mission-critical systems by proposing user interfaces that integrate dynamic profiling, context-awareness, and autonomic adaptation, resulting in a proof-of-concept implementation aimed at preventing and tolerating safety issues.
Due to their privileged position halfway between the physical and the cyber universes, user interfaces may play an important role in preventing, tolerating, and learning from scenarios potentially affecting mission safety and the user's quality of experience. This vision is embodied here in the main ideas and a proof-of-concepts implementation of user interfaces that combine dynamic profiling with context- and situation-awareness and autonomic software adaptation.
