New technology is flexible in the sense that it provides practitioners with a large number of functions and options for carrying out given task under different circumstances. However, this flexibility has price. Because human supervisor must select mode best suited to particular situation, he or she know more than before about system operations operation as well satisfy new monitoring attentional demands track which automation what doing manage underlying processes. When designers...

We propose 10 challenges for making automation components into effective "team players" when they interact with people in significant ways. Our analysis is based on some of the principles human-centered computing that we have developed individually and jointly over years, adapted from a more comprehensive examination common ground coordination.

Situation awareness has recently gained considerable attention as a performance-related psychological concept. This is especially true in the aviation domain where it considered an essential prerequisite for safe operation of complex dynamic system 'aircraft.' There are concerns, however, that inappropriately designed automatic systems introduced to advanced flight decks may reduce situation and thereby put safety at risk. thus become ubiquitous phrase. It's use most often based on intuitive...

The safety management literature describes two distinct modes through which is achieved. These can be described as centralized control, or guided adaptability. Safety labelled by Hollnagel 'Safety-I', aims to align and control the organization its people central determination of what safe. adaptability, 'Safety-II', enable safely adapt emergent situations conditions. Safety-II has been presented a paradigm shift in theory, but it created practical difficulties for professional practice. In...

Abstract Technological developments have made it possible to automate more and functions on the commercial aviation flight deck in other dynamic high-consequence domains. This increase degrees of freedom design has shifted questions away from narrow technological feasibility. Many concerned groups, designers operators regulators researchers, begun ask about how we should use possibilities afforded by technology skillfully support expand human performance. In this article, report an...

This paper uses results of field studies from multiple domains to explore the cognitive activities involved in dynamic fault management. Fault diagnosis has a different character management situations as compared troubleshooting broken device that been removed service. In there is some underlying process (an engineered or physiological will be referred monitored process) whose state changes over time. Faults disturb and goes on parallel with responses maintain integrity correct problem....

Abstract Due to recent incidents involving glass cockpit aircraft, there is growing concern about automation and its potential effects on pilot performance. However, little known the nature causes of problems that arise in pilot-automation interaction. In this article, we report results two studies provide converging, complementary data pilots' difficulties with understanding operating one core systems automation, Flight Management System (FMS). As vehicles gather a corpus variety...

Human factors studies the intersection between people, technology and work, with major aim to find areas where design working conditions produce human error. It relies on knowledge base research results of multiple fields inquiry (ranging from computer science anthropology) do so. Technological change at this (1) redefines relationship various players (both humans machines), (2) transforms practice shifts sources error excellence, (3) often drives up operational requirements pressures...

The effects of new technology on human performance in domains such as anesthesiology, commercial aviation, and nuclear power operations remain controversial. To study the impact skilled practitioner performance, we observed introduction a new, highly integrated, microprocessor-based physiological monitoring system for use cardiac anesthesia. computer differed from its predecessors method display, interface, level integration, automation functions. A process-tracing technique was used to...
