This EArly-Concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) award is an interdisciplinary project that brings together an expert in adaptive control with an expert in the cognitive basis of anomaly response. The focus is on providers of highly automated, business critical, smart digital services in which human supervisors normally monitor automatic controllers, but must take over control if anomalous events occur that the automation is not designed to handle. The objective is to ensure that such transitions occur safely, smoothly, and reliably. An industrial research partner will provide a set of cases of anomaly response from actual business critical software services.Smart services increasingly rely on autonomous computational mechanisms to quickly handle extremely large numbers of transactions extremely. Given the scale and dependence on automation, even small disrupting events can cascade quickly, and human supervision may lead to late and erroneous responses when anomalies occur that challenge automated capabilities. This project promises to re-engage human supervisors in the developing anomaly (a) smoothly, by providing anomaly visualizations that anticipate when the automated activity is at risk of saturating control, and (b) quickly, so that supervisors can intervene to block cascading problems. Performance testing will be based on actual cases of anomaly response and will estimate how re-engagement following anomalies is smooth or bumpy, the increase in responsiveness to anomalies, and the range of autonomous activities that can be supervised effectively with the new form of shared control.

EARLY探索性研究（EAGER）奖是一个跨学科项目，汇集了自适应控制专家和异常反应认知基础专家。重点是高度自动化，业务关键，智能数字服务的提供商，其中人类主管通常监控自动控制器，但如果发生自动化设计无法处理的异常事件，则必须接管控制。目标是确保这种过渡安全、平稳和可靠地进行。一个工业研究合作伙伴将提供一组来自实际业务关键软件服务的异常响应案例。智能服务越来越依赖于自主计算机制来快速处理极其大量的事务。考虑到自动化的规模和依赖性，即使是小的干扰事件也会迅速级联，当出现挑战自动化功能的异常时，人工监督可能会导致延迟和错误的响应。该项目承诺重新参与开发异常的人类主管（a）顺利，通过提供异常可视化，预测自动化活动何时处于饱和控制的风险，以及（B）快速，以便主管可以干预阻止级联问题。性能测试将基于异常响应的实际案例，并将估计异常后重新参与的平稳性或颠簸性，对异常响应的增加，以及可以通过新形式的共享控制有效监督的自主活动范围。
