Zachary, Wayne, Zubritzky, Monica C. and Glenn, Floyd A. (1988): The Development of the Air Anti-Submarine Warfare Mission Testbed as a Tool for the Development of Operator Models. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 1073-1077.

“The central concern of human factors engineering (HFE) is facilitating a productive relationship between man and machine. A new generation of man-machine systems has arisen in which the machine acts in a relatively intelligent manner to enhance the operator's decision-making capabilities in real-time multi-tasking situations. These systems have been termed "distributed intelligence systems" (DIS) because intelligence is distributed among all system entities, whether they are human or computer. The ability of these systems to aid humans in a flexible, interactive fashion depends on the capability of the machine to predict the human's information needs in a given decision-making situation. Thus, the DIS must incorporate a model that reflects the operator's information processing requirements for the tasks necessary to operate the system. Of construct this model, it is necessary to develop a DIS testbed where experimental investigations can occur. The mission environment chosen for simulation is the Naval Air Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) mission, whose objectives to search for, find, and attack the enemy submarine involve complex tactical decisions in a real-time multi-tasking environment. In the Air ASW mission, most significant tactical decisions are made by the Tactical Coordinator (TACCO), the main operator of the system. The aspects of the testbed discussed in this paper include those elements of the simulation and responsibilities of the TACCO needed to illustrate the types of information processing tasks involved in the ASW mission. Also, the data collection capabilities of the testbed and how this data will be applied to operator model development will be discussed.”

Glenn, Floyd A., Dick, A. O. and Bittner, Alvah C. (1987): Prediction of Personnel Requirements for System Operation. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 358-362.

“This paper presents the concept of an Automated Job Analysis Tool (AJAT) which predicts personnel characteristics that are required in order to ensure acceptable human-system performance with a specified system design. The scope of this tool is intended to be quite broad, applying to all types of military systems, addressing the performance of both operators and maintainers, providing a means for considering training issues, and incorporating the effects of all relevant performance-impacting factors. In order to achieve this objective, several major innovations in performance prediction technology are required; these are described in this paper in terms of AJAT requirements, current technology status, and a plan for developing and validating the required capabilities. The AJAT concept is based on the use of existing models (i.e., HOS, CAR, and possibly others) to predict performance under specified conditions and the use of a factor-analytic framework to achieve efficient mapping of the performance space of interest.”
