Safety enhancement through situation-aware user interfaces (1504.03731v1)

Abstract: 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.
