On some theoretical issues of interaction with socialized and personalized cyber-physical systems

Abstract

The paradigm of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) is changing in our days. While a decade ago they were regarded as technical systems, they are now intellectualized as socially deeply embedded and behaviorally personalized systems. This has influence on the manifestations of CPSs and on the interaction with these systems. First, the paper casts light on the drivers of the development of social-cyber-physical systems. Then, it investigates the influence of socialization and personalization of cyber-physical systems on interaction. The last part of the paper looks into theoretical issues of interaction, such as coping with the interaction profile of cyber-physical systems, combining the intellectual domains of interaction, and interaction on various intentional levels.
