“…The capability to predict subjective experience s(t) and behavior M(t), via knowledge of G and H, can greatly enhance intelligent interfaces associated with aiding and decision support (Rouse, 1988;Rouse, et al, 1988Rouse, et al, , 1990Rouse & Morris, 1987). Based on the above model, a support system can predict people's subjective experience and the consequent activities.…”

ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)This program studied the relationship between subjective workload and human behavior and proposed a model of the dynamics of this relationship. Results of three simulation experiments are detailed in this report and show that simple linear indentification algorithms are robust in online identification of noisy, nonlinear versions of the model. This model and the associated algorithms have the potential to enable online inferences of workload and could be used to prompt/invoke human aiding or automated systems to help reduce workload.Applications for such systems exist in aiding aircraft pilots; command, control, communication decision makers; and other personnel in dynamic, time constrained environments.14.

“…15 This approach offers a larger flexibility in the selection of intensity function, since it does not require that l(t) is integrable. However, when it is possible to evaluate (2) analytically, this approach has the advantage that it is possible to calculate the survivability for the time points of interest (such as the waypoints or the entire route) without having to calculate the survivability for all intermediate time slots. The calculations of the survivability can therefore be performed faster, which can be important if the survivability should be displayed in real-time in the fighter aircraft cockpit during flight.…”

A survivability model can be a useful component of a tactical support system able to aid fighter pilots to assess the risk of getting hit by enemy fire from ground-based threats. This work identifies three desirable properties of such a model: it should allow for evaluating actions; it should enable domain experts to incorporate their knowledge; and it should represent uncertainties both regarding the locations of the threats as well as their future actions. A survivability model is suggested, which calculates the probability that the aircraft can fly a route unharmed and allows for routes of different lengths to be compared. A domain expert can describe the threats by specifying the risk of getting hit at a position of the route without having to consider the earlier actions of the aircraft and the threats. Three different threat models are suggested and compared. The influence of uncertainties regarding the positions of the threats is studied by calculating the probability density function for the survivability. Different representations that take into account both the uncertainty regarding the present and future situation are discussed. The results indicate that the suggested survivability model could be a useful component of a future tactical support system, even though some further development is needed.

“…In these systems, decision-making authority and task performance can be delegated to machine intelligence to augment human performance. Based on successes that Rouse and his colleagues have had with mixed-initiative systems in the aviation and process control domains (Geddes, 1989;Rouse, Geddes & Curry, 1987;Rouse, Geddes & Hammer, 1990), we examine the prospects for applying this technology to information access and use in design. We consider technological needs, system architecture, and how such a support system might be evaluated.…”

Past experience in developing intelligent support systems (Rouse, Geddes & Curry, 1987;Rouse, Geddes & Hammer, 1990) has shown that the key to providing the types of support recommended in this report lies in being able to know what the human is doing and how these activities relate to his goals and plans.

The purpose of this program was to analyze the process of complex system design to determine why designers often fail to consider potentially valuable technical information in making design decisions. Based on this analysis, the goal was to define functional requirements for a new class of supports that will enhance designers' access and use of such information. Termed Designer's Associates, these supports derive from a thorough understanding of designers' tasks and the services that intelligent computing technologies make possible.Relevant design information exists in a variety of places, expressed in many forms, of varying quality, etc. It includes both system-specific and system-independent elements. Information also tends to be distributed across "data islands," making availability a problem. The designer may not be aware of, misinterpret, or not value relevant information that could improve his decisions. For better or worse, each designer assesses the costs and benefits associated with information access, and acts in accord with this evaluation. A poor evaluation can effectively block information from affecting design choices. The surrounding milieu, which is composed of co-workers, organizations and technology, can interfere with access and use in a variety of direct and subtle ways.One approach for improving information access and utilization is through use of a new concept in intelligent computer-based supports called "mixed-initiative support systems." In these systems, decision-making authority and task performance can be delegated to machine intelligence to augment human performance. Based on successful application of mixed-initiative systems in the aviation and process control domains, we examine the prospects for applying this technology to information access and use in design. We consider technological needs, system architecture, and how such a support system might be evaluated. The effort involved our examining the processes by which complex systems evolve, with most examples taken from military aircraft and aircr...
