Performance Metrics for Intelligent Systems (PerMIS'10) Workshop

The 2010 Performance Metrics for Intelligent Systems workshop will be the tenth in a series dedicated to defining measures and methodologies of evaluating performance of intelligent systems. Started in 2000, the PerMIS series focuses on applications of performance measures to applied problems in commercial, industrial, homeland security, and military applications.

PerMIS'10 will emphasize the key role of performance assessment in developing intelligent systems that can co-exist with humans towards improving the quality of our lives intertwined with automation. Adaptability to human-centered collaboration, the ability to cope with unstructured, dynamic environments, and keeping humans out of harm's way have been widely accepted as critical prerequisites. Designing such flexible, smart, and safe systems requires that their performance be quantifiable thereby facilitating emerging technologies and societal acceptance.

Selected papers from PerMIS'10 will be considered for publication in a special issue with the International Journal of Intelligent Control and Systems. A National Science Foundation Poster Session is also being planned with travel support to undergraduate and graduate students. The Proceedings of PerMIS are indexed by INSPEC, Compendex, ACM Digital Library, and are released as a NIST Special Publication.

In relation to the main theme, topic areas include, but are not limited to:

  • Defining & Measuring Aspects and Capabilities of a Co-X (e.g. Co-Workers, Co-Inhabitants, ...) System:
    • Human-Robot Interaction, Collaboration and Coordination
    • Mobility
    • Responsiveness, Reliability, Trustworthiness, Interchangeability, Durability
    • Variable Levels of Autonomy
