Development of CSCW has been focused on cognitive cooperative agents in recent years. Modeling of human interactions allow the mapping of the human interactions qualitites using agents, supporting Cognitive Technical Systems (CTS). The proposed concept modeling can be used and integrated to the supervision and assistance of Human-Machine-Interactions by supporting the interaction using cognitive-based interfaces for communication and cooperation. The contribution introduces briefly the Situation-Operator-Modeling (SOM) approach theoretically and details on the representations with an applicable algorithm with respect to a special case of HMI: driver-vehicle interactions. The interaction between the human driver and the vehicle can be illustrated with a cyclic loop. Within the rule-based knowledge representation approach operator-specific variables are defined and identified during the interactions. Based on the experimental-based and verified experiences the concept for SOM-based CSCW is briefly developed using similar concepts of task-based HMI-modeling for group and personal assistance.
