Introduction
This book has resulted from ongoing research by a group of enthusiastic people within both Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) and Knowledge- Based Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems (KES) Centre during work on automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our effort has enabled the formation of teams that combine the skills of both human and machine (electronic) members. This book proposes a general, conceptual framework for the development of automation in human-machine environments that will allow such teams to work effectively and efficiently. This chapter introduces the subject and the main challenges which developers have to face. The method of approach in developing this conceptual framework will be described with an outline of original contributions. An overview of the structure of the book and its chapters is also presented.
