138 7 CHAPTER 7 military context and therefore highlight specific tactical oversight issues. A scenario based on an operational or strategic military context might identify other oversight issues. The instruments described in the blocks of the Comphrensive Human Oversight Framework are generic and retrieved from a literature review from diverse academic disciplines. The simulation of the implementation concept is derived from the Glass Box framework. Both have not been applied to other case studies therefore it is not clear if they can be generalized to other application areas. Secondly, due to time constraints we did not validate the Comphrensive Human Oversight Framework, the simulation of the implementation concept and Five-Point Systems Framework as we did with the results from the Value Deliberation Process. We did show the Comphrensive Human Oversight Framework to several experts, presented it to our peers, for example in several Doctoral Consortiums of conferences, and published both in peer-reviewed journal papers, but a structured rigorous scientific review is missing in this research. The final limitation is that of the Value Deliberation process itself. The aim of the method is to get a mutual understanding of the different participant perspectives. However, the perspectives and opinions of the experts in the field of Autonomous Weapon Systems deployment are very distinct both pros and cons Autonomous Weapon Systems. During the value discussion, the participants gained more insight into each other’s perspectives, but a value deliberation discussion will not lead to mutual understanding among the participants, as is originally aimed with this method, on the arguments pro or con the deployment of Autonomous Weapon Systems. As the debate on Autonomous Weapon Systems is polarized, the discussion on Autonomous Weapon Systems- mostly conducted in academic papers and in online blogs- is often one sided, e.g., either pros or cons, and a value deliberation can provide a balanced discussion on the topic and increase understanding. 7.3 FUTURE WORK A few open questions remain for extending or adapting our work which can be divided in methodological and substantive improvements of our research. Methodologically, future work should address the limitations described in the previous section. The Comphrensive Human Oversight Framework and the implementation concept need to be applied to different case studies to see if they also applicable to other fields where autonomous systems are used. For example, in the case of Autonomous Vehicles and firefighting or humanitarian disaster relief with autonomous drones. It would be interesting to study which control instruments are used in these domains and to see if
