HUMOUS'08 - Call for paper

Trends toward reduced staffing of operations and increased number of vehicles to control, and integration with other air operations and combat functions raise the important questions of man-machine or men-machines interaction and of the adequate principles of authority sharing to be applied within multi-UV control systems.

The objective of this conference is to unite the human factors research community with the UV operational community and UV developers to identify the critical human factors challenges associated with UV operations and provide a venue for disseminating peer-reviewed research and industrial results in this growing area.

We also plan to organize meetings between industrial partners, researchers and active operators of UVs from French Army or UV companies / providers.

We especially encourage presentations on the following topics:

  • Multi-UV control and authority sharing
  • New interfaces (multimodalities, context-dependency, adaptability) for UV control and command
  • UAVs for border security and homeland defense
  • Ground control of multiple vehicles:  workload, situation awareness
  • Perceptual issues in remote control of UAVs, UGVs and UUVs
  • Perceptual and cognitive issues in UAV/UGV/UUV sensor operation
  • UV integration with other air operations (military and civilian)
  • Human factors issues specific to applications of remotely operated vehicles
  • Training for remotely operated vehicle operations
  • Sustained operations and remotely operated vehicles
