Laughery, K. Ronald (1989): Task Network Modeling as a Basis for Analyzing Operator Workload. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 110-114.

“This paper discusses a technique for predicting human workload which is based around task network modeling. Task network modeling allows task analyses to be simulated on a computer to study dynamic system behavior through the addition of information, primarily task time and sequencing. A technique was developed by McCracken and Aldrich (1984) and modified by Drews, Laughery, Kramme, and Archer (1985) which permits the inclusion of workload information into a task network model. From these workload models one can make predictions about where points of excessive operator overload are likely to occur. However the technique has undergone only limited empirical validation. In addition to presenting the basic technique, this paper will briefly describe a software tool for using the technique as well as the perceived theoretical shortcomings of the technique in its current form.”

Plott, Christopher, Wachtel, Jerry and Laughery, K. Ronald (1988): Operational Assessment of Simulator Fidelity in the Nuclear Industry. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 705-709.

“The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has recently developed a procedure for inspecting nuclear power plant control room simulators. These inspections will ensure that the simulator has sufficient fidelity to produce an appropriate medium for the conduct of operator licensing examinations. The difficulty in obtaining objective data for the assessment of fidelity, particularly for transient or accident events, requires that the inspection be performed primarily from a behavioral perspective rather than a strictly engineering perspective. This paper briefly describes the procedure developed.”

Laughery, K. Ronald, Dahl, Susan, Kaplan, Jonathan, Archer, Rick and Fontenelle, Gail (1988): A Manpower Determination Aid Based upon System Performance Requirements. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 1060-1064.

“This paper discusses two of the six software tools which are being developed as part of the Army Research Institute's MANPRINT Methods development program. The first tool discussed here is known as the System performance and RAM Constraints Aid or SPARC. This tool permits system designers to determine levels of subfunction performance which are required to achieve function and higher level mission requirements. These levels of subfunction and function performance then serve as requirements which are fed into the second tool, the Manpower Systems Evaluation Aid (MAN-SEVAL). MAN-SEVAL takes as input the system design and then predicts the operator and maintainer manpower required to achieve the required levels of task and function performance. For maintenance manpower evaluation, MAN-SEVAL considers component failure rates, time to perform maintenance, and the mission scenario. For operator manpower and to estimate maintenance task times, MAN-SEVAL conducts an analysis of workload, control/display accessibility, and maximum acceptable performance time to allocate tasks across crewmembers. Because all manpower requirements are truly driven by system performance requirements, these two tools are being developed collectively with common data bases and software design. While they are currently being developed for the Army, they will be useful general purpose manpower analysis tools.”

Fontenelle, Gail and Laughery, K. Ronald (1988): Workload Assessment Aid for Human Engineering Design. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 1122-1125.

“The Workload Assessment Aid (WAA) is a software tool developed for the Army Research Institute as part of the MANPRINT effort. This software toolkit is specifically designed to predict operator workload at the earliest stages of design. It builds upon a task network simulation tool, Micro SAINT, by incorporating several other predictive workload techniques, in addition to several new dimensions. In it final form the tool will automatically make these task re-allocation recommendations based on workload profiles, personnel characteristics and display-control accessibility.”
