Enhancing Design for Graceful Extensibility (EDGE)

archived

The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals for developing the tools necessary to create, measure, and test Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) that provide enough situational awareness (SA) of a system’s processes and status and of the operational environment so the operator can adapt the system in unexpected situations. EDGE seeks design capabilities that will be fast, quantifiable, repeatable, and manageable enough for HMI concept design, development, and testing to be integrated into the larger system’s design processes. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or capabilities that enable HMI development. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.
