“…In studies of workload, people are often viewed as a kind of component (man in the loop) to be used in constructing important systems. Kuperman and Perez (1988) analyzed a team system for Air Force bomber missions, and used workload measurements to identify crew task choke points. Bergeron (1968) investigated the measurement of workload on tasks similar to piloting a lunar lander.…”

At first glance it seems absurd that busy people doing important jobs should want their computers to interrupt them. Interruptions are disruptive and people need to concentrate to make good decisions. However, successful job performance also frequently depends on people's abilities to (a) constantly monitor their dynamically changing information environments, (b) collaborate and communicate with other people in the system, and (c) supervise background autonomous services. These critical abilities can require people to simultaneously query a large set of information sources, continuously monitor for important events, and respond to and communicate with other human operators.

“…Also, most research has focused on situations involving only two or few competing demands when, in fact, an operator could find himself or herself in a much more complex situation. This will require even more effective support for task management and may call for the involvement of an external mediator who can assess, predict, and adapt to operator interruptibility based on cognitive models, physiological measurements, or shared access to the operator's workspace (see, e.g., Czerwinski, Cutrell, & Horvitz, 2000;Kuperman & Perez, 1988;Latorella, 1998). Progress in these areas is needed in order to avoid researchers and designers that are being outpaced, once again, by rapid developments in the modern workplace.…”

Not Now! Supporting Interruption Management by Indicating the Modality and Urgency of Pending Tasks

Operators in complex event-driven domains must coordinate competing attentional demands in the form of multiple tasks and interactions. This study examined the extent to which this requirement can be supported more effectively through informative interruption cueing (in this case, partial information about the nature of pending tasks). The 48 participants performed a visually demanding air traffic control (ATC) task. They were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 experimental groups that differed in the availability of information (not available, available upon request, available automatically) about the urgency and modality of pending interruption tasks. Within-subject variables included ATC-related workload and the modality, frequency, and priority of interruption tasks. The results show that advance knowledge about the nature of pending tasks led participants to delay visual interruption tasks the longest, which allowed them to avoid intramodal interference and scanning costs associated with performing these tasks concurrently with ATC tasks. The 3 experimental groups did not differ significantly in terms of their interruption task performance; however, the group that automatically received task-related information showed better ATC performance, thus experiencing a net performance gain. Actual or potential applications of this research include the design of interfaces in support of attention and interruption management in a wide range of event-driven environments.

This research and development effort was directed to the design and proof-of-concept demonstration of a dynamic tactical situation display (TSD) applicable to an advanced conceptual bomber crew system. The TSD provides a primary source of mission pacing and situational awareness information in the Strategic Avionics Battle-Management Evaluation and Research (SABER) exploratory development simulator at the Human Engineering Division of the Armstrong Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory. Four levels of situational awareness information are supported by SABER: (1) conventional paper products, (2) digitized (softcopy) versions of these hardcopy materials, (3) dynamic graphic representation of horizontal situation, and (4) horizontal situation display with digital terrain elevation and cultural feature underlay. The TSD described in this paper is being applied in the SABER simulation facility to support research directed to the optimization of the bomber crew system in the context of future mission requirements.
