Concept and Implementation of an Adaptive Decentralized Control System for Human-Technology Interaction

Abstract

This paper introduces an architecture for decentralized control systems for human-technology interaction with an elevated focus on adaption and agent mobility. For that purpose, the human worker is represented by a virtual entity in form of a human agent that allows integration in decentralized control systems. Changes in the population, age structure and the volatility of the employment market demand adequate interface technologies and individualization for the heterogeneous group of employees. The proposed multi-agent system should be open-source and comply with requirements like user integration, interoperability, agent mobility, direct interaction and system adaptivity.
