<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:#1F497D"><a href="http://cis.ieee.org/images/files/Documents/Transactions/TETCI/SI7_CFP_HMS.pdf">http://cis.ieee.org/images/files/Documents/Transactions/TETCI/SI7_CFP_HMS.pdf</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<h1><span lang="EN-US">AIM AND SCOPE<o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal">It has been 55+ years since Licklider published his seminal paper titled “Man-Machine Symbiosis”. Yet, Licklider’s argument stands still today as it was standing at that time; a vision that seems to be plausible in the near future. We particularly
quote the following from this seminal work: “A multidisciplinary study group, examining future research and development problems of the Air Force, estimated that it would be 1980 before developments in artificial intelligence make it possible for machines
alone to do much thinking or problem solving of military significance. That would leave, say, five years to develop man-computer symbiosis and 15 years to use it. The 15 may be 10 or 500, but those years should be intellectually the most creative and exciting
in the history of mankind.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today, as we stand on slightly firmer ground to assert that the era of Human-Machine Symbiosis has begun, perfection in that symbiosis still remains distant. On the conceptual level, more refined concepts of Licklider’s vision have been
established; these include (in a chronological order of their appearance in the literature): Biocybernetics, Brain Computer Interfaces, Adaptive Aiding, Adaptive Automation, Human-Machine Teaming, Augmented Cognition, Cognitive-Cyber Symbiosis, and Human-Autonomy
Teaming. On the engineering level, most of these concepts have been implemented in one form or another. The field of Air Traffic Control has possibly been “the” testbed for almost all of these concepts; but today, autonomous systems are becoming a primary
testbed for all of these concepts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The above history has relied on less “intelligence” in the machine, making the symbiotic relationship more challenging. The field of Computational Intelligence (CI) is introducing some game-changing and disruptive technologies with the
potential to create a leap forward in this research area. Deep learning systems are showing promise in making the machine smarter and adaptive. Fuzzy systems are offering opportunities to provide transparency to allow the human to understand what the machine
does. Evolutionary computation techniques are becoming a classic technology to optimize these systems. Swarm intelligence is offering the foundations for effective teaming. Behavioral analytics using CI techniques are leading the way to synthesize low-level
actions by both humans and machines into high-level meaning. Yet, the literature on this topic is spread over many scattered papers. This special issue aims to bring the elite of this literature together.
