Consequently, the automation solutions should be smart enough to adapt the level of automation (LOA) to the changes in peripheral situations.

I am thinking particularly of the information society, from which the islands must not be excluded, since modern communication technology is the very thing that can help them to overcome their peripheral situation.

Västerbron was built simultaneously to the then modern traffic centre at Slussen and while the bridge was being built many people were wondering who was supposed to use it, believing its peripheral situation would prevent it from attracting any users.

As both candidates compete to restrict the use of American military in peripheral situations, I would have expected them to focus on the need to rethink multilateral peacekeeping so it can do the job right the next time Washington demands that United Nations forces be sent somewhere.

The peripheral situations affect the performance of cybernetic systems; therefore, though one-shot human-centered automation (HCA) designs might provide better results than the systems designed based on the "automate it as possible" philosophy; however, these designs fail to maintain the advantages of the HCA designs, when the peripheral situations change.
