Unsolved Research Problems (2)
If two adaptive systems (e.g., the human being and the adaptive technology) are coupled with each other, the following aspects have to be taken into account:
(1) the adaptation rate (RsA) of the technical subsystem, and
(2) the two different kinds of human influences on the technical subsystem: the explicit control rate (RhC) and the implicit adaptation rate (RhA).
The main challenge of designing such a coupling is to avoid an unintended excelleration between both subsystems based on the closed loop coupling; with other words, what is the appropriate design for such kind of closed loop coupling?.
How should be the relation [RhC + RhA] ? [RsA] established? Secondly, what is the proper balance between [RhC] ?[RhA]?
These are two central research questions.
