The shift from Industry 4.0 to Society 5.0 in the evolution of contemporary systems engineering requires including people and organizations within the whole life cycle of sociotechnical systems. This endeavor starts at school. Consequently, education and training must include human systems integration (HSI) as a discipline at the same level as mathematics and physics. HSI is based on digital engineering providing tools that enable students to learn by doing through the creation, testing, and refinement of virtual prototypes of any kind. Human-in-the-loop simulation (HITLS) capabilities enable the observation and discovery of emerging properties of sociotechnical systems being designed. At the same time, we develop creativity, participatory methods, and tangibility criteria to assess various types of maturity (technological, human, and organizational).

Symposium #103: Human-machine teamwork: A cross-engineering-ergonomics approach to human systems integration in the aerospace and automotive sectors, by Guy André Boy & Chloé Morel (FlexTech), Xavier Chalandon & Jean-Baptiste Haué (Renault) - Wednesday 5 July 11:30-13:00.
Abstract. The increasing digitization of complex socio-technical systems calls for a better understanding of the role of human actors within them. It is no longer simply a question of designing and developing user interfaces once systems have been built (a 20th century concept), but of progressively integrating human and machine agents to satisfy objectives of flexibility, tangibility, durability and resilience, and criteria of safety, efficiency and comfort. This study is a continuation of the work carried out within the HSI (Human Systems Integration) working group of INCOSE (International Council on Systems Engineering) in collaboration with the IEA (International Ergonomics Association). We will focus on the triptych of technologies, contexts and people within organizations. Digitization relies on algorithms using artificial intelligence, data analysis, software engineering, complex systems engineering, ergonomics and the properties of the domain under consideration (e.g. aeronautics, space, automotive, rail, etc.). We will be inviting academic and industrial specialists from cross-disciplinary fields such as systems engineering, computer science and ergonomics, as well as from civil and military vertical sectors such as aerospace and automotive, to exchange ideas during this symposium on the theme of human-machine teaming, where highly automated machines are endowed with decision-making and action capabilities. We'll be addressing issues of complexity, performance, trust and collaboration between humans and machines.
