HSI2024, the Third INCOSE International Conference on Human Systems Integration (HSI), together with the International Ergonomics Association (IEA), will be held hybrid in Jeju, Korea, from 27 to 29 August, 2024, jointly with the 22nd Triennial World Congress of the IEA, and in cooperation with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI).

Save the date!

HSI emerges from the combination of human-centered design (HCD) and systems engineering (SE) as a highly participative and incremental process. In 2020, INCOSE and IEA (International Ergonomics Association) signed a Memorandum of Understanding that fosters this combination. We are proud to co-chair this conference in coordination with the 22nd Triennial World Congress of the IEA.

HSI requires creativity (thought as synthesis and integration) as well as experience, awareness and validation (thought as experimental tests, operations quality analysis, discovery of emergent properties, standards, and so on) for the design and management of socio-technical systems.

Modeling and simulation capabilities tremendously improve possibilities of taking into account human factors during the early stages of engineering design and throughout the entire life cycle of systems. Operational personnel can be involved in virtual operations tests using human-in-the-loop simulations to determine appropriate requirements for effective design and development.

The conference intends to inspire and engage researchers, innovators and practitioners in productive discussions of how technologies, organizations, jobs and responsibilities of operations actors, engineering designers, certifiers, trainers, maintainers and many other technology stakeholders can be reshaped to meet near and long-term goals of safe, efficient and comfortable operations.

HSI2024 will continue the discussions started during HSI2019 in Biarritz, France, HSI2021 held virtually, and collaborative work done during the last five years in INCOSE HSI Working Group. Successful HSI workshops have been held during this period despite COVID pandemic. We started writing the INCOSE HSI Primer, and Volume 1 is already available.

We invite papers on visionary and transformational ideas and “out-of– the-box” thinking that can move industrial operations in new directions. The question "Integration!” will be the primary focus of HSI2024. We're moving towards a deeper digital society where people need to retain control and management of their affairs in the most tangible way, especially with the rise of artificial intelligence. Therefore, we encourage the dialogue between industrial sectors that includes aeronautics, space, medicine, automotive, oil and gas, defense as well as other fields involved in Industry 4.0 toward Society 5.0.

HSI2024 will bring together manufacturers, operators, government, research centers and academia to focus on improving industrial teams of teams. The current economic environment puts additional pressure on all of us to make industrial operations more efficient and affordable. We invite you to submit innovative methods, techniques, tools and technology that can lead the way. This includes laboratory research and field investigations, industrial developments and perspectives. While the primary focus is on HSI, we will consider papers on a wide range of topics including design, evaluation, certification and rule-making, training, maintenance, in-service experience and incident/ accident investigation.
