Cott, Harold P. Van, Weiner, Earl, Wickens, Christopher D., Blackman, Harold S. and Sheridan, Thomas B. (1995): "Smart Automation Enhances Safety": A Motion for Debate. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 448-449.

“The Debate Resolution: Attempting to structure the benefits and hazards of rapidly evolving technologies within an envelope that defines what is safe, feasible and economically viable, is difficult. While experts may not have a neat way to do this in hand, they can sometimes piece together experience and wisdom in interesting ways and occasionally strike a spark that illuminates the darkness. Toward this end four authorities in human performance and automaton. will debate the following proposition, stated in the form of a resolution "Be it Resolved: That Smart Automation Enhances Safety."”

Blackman, Harold S. and Byers, James C. (1995): Development of a Behaviorally Based Human Reliability Analysis Method. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 1006-1010.

“Human reliability analysis (HRA) assesses the safety and risk significance of human tasks. This paper describes the development and testing of a behaviorally based human reliability analysis method. A general criticism of HRA methods is the inability to tie HRA methods back to first principles in human behavior. The method described here, developed for the accident sequence precursor (ASP) program of the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), begins by first describing an information processing model of human behavior, and then using it to define a comprehensive list of factors that influence human performance. These psychological factors are then distilled into the practical and operational factors more commonly identified in nuclear power plant operation. Appropriate adjustments for level of detail are then made to the factors and a further model developed to evaluate the effect of dependency between human actions. The application of the method to the ASP models for two nuclear power plants is discussed.”

Richards, Robert E., Novak, Steven, Haney, Lon N., Romero, Henry A. and Blackman, Harold S. (1995): Enhancing Human Reliability Analysis through Visualization: First Steps. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 1011-1014.

“Over the last 15 years practitioners and researchers in the area of human factors and human reliability analysis (HRA) at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) have been developing improved methods and tools for performing HRAs. During this last year a major focus has been placed on applying visualization to enhance HRA processes and the communication of HRA results. The team has explored various metaphors, concepts, and has built some initial visualization prototypes. This paper is a summary of the project's progress to date with emphasis on the conceptual and theoretical development to date. Secondarily, the paper describes, briefly, some of the prototyping efforts.”

Blackman, Harold S. (1991): Modeling the Influence of Errors of Commission on Success Probability. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 35th Annual Meeting 1991. pp. 1085-1089.

“A new method for modeling the influence of errors of commission is presented. This method extends the modeling done in HRA event trees to more accurately represent the population of potential human errors associated with errors of commission. The modified HRA event trees are called commission event trees (COMETs). The fundamental difference between COMETs and HRA event trees is that COMETs model errors of commission and deal with the problem of cascading errors often encountered when errors are either intentional or latent in nature. An illustration of the application of COMET is given for an error of intention in a nuclear control scenario.”

“Each discipline tends to use analytic tools that lead them to solutions within their own discipline, and steer them away from others. Within a discipline, we tend to pose solutions that align with our areas of interest or expertise. Clients can be guided into work which may not be the best solution to their particular set of problems or needs.”

“Results regarding the use of protocol analysis techniques are presented to show how they may improve the models identified through other knowledge engineering techniques and how these models may then be used to improve performance through training. Data from two experiments are presented and discussed.”

“The purpose of this paper is to raise issues for discussion regarding the applications of mental models in the study of complex performance. Applications for training, expert systems and decision aids, job selection, workstation design, and other complex environments are considered.”

“ Software design is the act of determining the user's experience with a piece of software. It has nothing to do with how the code works inside, or how big or small the code is. The designer's task is to specify completely and unambiguously the user's whole experience. ”
