Abstract

Situation Awareness is a paradigm that contains data gathering, logic reasoning and responsive interaction to capture situations, which describe system states, from dynamic environments. Focusing on evolvability issue, we proposes a generic Situation Awareness System (SAS) model, called Human-centric Evolvable Situation-Awareness (HESA). In this paper, we present the HESA architecture, accommodation/evolution processes, and how we use Context/Situation Generation approach to provide human-centric fault-tolerant evolvability.
