Guest Editorial Special Issue on Systematic Approaches to Human-Machine Interface: Improving Resilience, Robustness, and Stability

The papers in this special section focus on systematic approaches to human-machine interface applications. The motivation for this special issue is the growing increase of remote mission management, unmanned aircraft systems, NextGen operations in the U.S. and its Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research counterparts in Europe, and other similarly integrated systems of systems that include complex human–machine systems with high levels of autonomy and team dynamics that are difficult to understand and analyze. The issue explores key research areas that impact the properties of these systems, which rely on varied degrees of human and machine interactions. The special issue is a result of the continued interest in the formal verification of complex human–machine systems.
