Human Systems Integration: 2+2=22!
Greater than the Sum of its Parts
17-19 March 2009
Loews Annapolis Hotel, Annapolis, Maryland
Symposium Concept: Whether developing a complex weapon system or designing a car loaded with digital “extras”, Human System Integration (HSI) must be embraced in the earliest design and development phases. HSI impacts total ownership cost, workload, manning, training, operational, and maintenance concepts, safety and especially the “human element” in system design that ultimately affects system performance. Getting the human element “right” in the total system-engineering equation demands an integrated engineering perspective and process that produce results greater than the sum of the individual parts. The human is the critical integer that completes the total system package and makes the performance equation of “2+2=22!” a reality.
Symposium Topics:
- HSI “how-to” – Case Studies, Best Practices
- Tools, Methodology , and Integration - Modeling and Simulation
- HSI Lessons Learned from the User
- Challenges and Successes to institutionalizing HSI - We have come a long way!
- How does HSI fit into SE process?
- Addressing Compressed Timeline - Early Integration
- HSI Economics (ROI, TOC, affordability)
- Effective Cross-talk among HSI Domains
- Where to apply HSI
- Collaboration across disciplines – military, industry, academic
- Applying HSI to “Total System Performance”
- Training/Educating the Warifghter
- Integrated Logistics Support
- Championing HSI (Who, When, Where, & How)
- What’s new in HSI?
