HSI 2019 – First Conference

INCOSE International Conference on Human Systems Integration (HSI2019)

Dates: September 11–13, 2019
Location: Biarritz, France


HSI emerged from the combination of human-centered design (HCD) and systems engineering (SE) as a highly participative and incremental process.

HSI required creativity (thought as synthesis and integration) as well as experience awareness and validation (through experimental tests, operations quality analysis, discovery of emergent properties, standards, and more).

Modeling and simulation capabilities tremendously improved possibilities of taking into account human factors during the early stages of design and throughout the entire life cycle of systems. Operational personnel were involved in virtual operations tests to determine appropriate requirements for effective design and development.


HSI2019 took place in Biarritz, France, a beautiful proactive place, where engineering education, innovation, and tourism were main assets. In this setting, the conference inspired and engaged researchers, innovators and practitioners in productive discussions of how technologies, organizations, jobs and responsibilities of operations actors, engineering designers, certifiers, trainers, maintainers and many other technology stakeholders could be reshaped to meet near and long-term goals of safe, efficient and comfortable operations.

HSI2019 continued the discussion of the shift from human-computer interaction to human-systems integration which was started during HCI-Aero 2016 in Paris, France.

It also welcomed papers on visionary and transformational ideas and “out-of–the-box” thinking that could move industrial operations in new directions.


Theme: Integrate and Interact

This was the primary focus of HSI2019. The event encouraged dialogue between industrial sectors that included aeronautics, space, medicine, automotive, oil and gas, defense as well as other fields.


HSI2019 brought together manufacturers, operators, government, research centers and academia to focus on improving industrial teams of teams. The economic environment of the time put additional pressure on all to make industrial operations more efficient and affordable.

Participants submitted innovative methods, techniques, tools and technology that led the way. These included:

  • Laboratory research and field investigations
  • Industrial developments and perspectives
  • Design, evaluation, certification and rule-making
  • Training, maintenance, in-service experience
  • Incident/accident investigation

Organizers: HSI2019 was organized in cooperation with ACM, IEA and Air & Space Academy.
