HUMANE D2.2 Typology and method v2

Abstract

In the HUMANE research project, we aim to support analysis of,
and design for human‐machine networks. Towards this end, we
have developed a HUMANE typology and method. The typology
serves to characterize human‐machine networks on dimensions
pertaining to the level of agency in the actors of the network, the
strength of the relations between the actors, and network
organization and workflow. The method supports profiling
human‐machine networks along these dimensions, to analyse
implications of the network characteristics, identify similar
networks, and enable the transfer of design knowledge and
experience in the form of design patterns. We have applied the
method to conduct initial implication analysis and suggest
potential design patterns of relevance to the six HUMANE cases,
on the basis of their human‐machine network profile.
Furthermore, we have developed the prototype version of a tool
for profiling human‐machine networks and sharing design
knowledge and experience in the form of design patterns.
