Development of a generic design framework for intelligent adaptive systems

A lack of established design guidelines for intelligent adaptive systems is a challenge in designing a human-machine performance maximization system. An extensive literature review was conducted to examine existing approaches in the design of intelligent adaptive systems. A unified framework to describe design approaches using consistent and unambiguous terminology was developed. Combining design methodologies from both Human Computer Interaction and Human Factors fields, conceptual and design frameworks were also developed to provide guidelines for the design and implementation of intelligent adaptive systems. A number of criteria for the selection of appropriate analytical techniques are recommended. The proposed frameworks will not only provide guidelines for designing intelligent adaptive systems in the military domain, but also broadly guide the design of other generic systems to optimize human-machine system performance.
