Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent trend towards higher levels of automation in complex systems, such as in nuclear power plants, air-traffic control and flight management, is changing the role of the human operator from one of a controller to one of a supervisory decision-maker. The operator's primary responsibility in this new role is to extract information from his environment, and to integrate it for action selection and its implementation. The present analytic and experimental research has sought to understand human monitoring, information-processing and task selection procedures in dynamic multi-task environments, as a preliminary step towards analyzing and evaluating the human component of a supervisory control system. A simple yet realistic computer representation of the supervisory decision situation is developed. The experimental paradigm retains the essence of the multi-task decision problem by presenting the human with a dynamic situation wherein tasks of different value, time requirement and deadline compete for his attention. Via this framework, the effects of various task related variables on the human decision-processes are studied. In order to validate the model, several time-history and scalar measures of performance are proposed. Excellent model-data agreement is obtained for all the experimental conditions studied. Moreover, the model has been shown to represent human decision behavior significantly better than several heuristic sequencing rules of scheduling theory. The model has the potential for use in computer-aiding, and could form a significant step towards the modeling of multi-human behavior in complex, multi-level, multi-task systems.
Download or read book Human Decisionmaking in Dynamic Environments with Increasing Information Processing Demands written by D. Serfaty and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article describes the Dynamic Decision Model (DDM) which is a normative-descriptive model that has shown to provide an excellent representation of human information processing and decisionmaking in a dynamic multi-task environment. A sensitivity study was performed on the DDM in an attempt to explore the nature by which various dynamic task attributes affect human performance. In particular, changes in parameters such as the number of concurrent tasks, task velocity, task processing time and task value, were investigated in conjunction with existing notions concerning human operator workload. This global approach not only emphasizes the performance level the human operator may attain but also the tactics and strategies he uses to achieve it.
Download or read book Better Decision Making in Complex Dynamic Tasks written by Hassan Qudrat-Ullah and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer simulation-based education and training is a multi-billion dollar industry. With the increased complexity of organizational decision making, projected demand for computer simulation-based decisional aids is on the rise. The objective of this book is to enhance systematically our understanding of and gain insights into the general process by which human facilitated ILEs are effectively designed and used in improving users’ decision making in dynamic tasks. This book is divided into four major parts. Part I serves as an introduction to the subject of “decision making in dynamic tasks”, its importance and its complexity. Part II provides background material, drawing upon the relevant literature, for the development of an integrated process model on the effectiveness of human facilitated ILEs in improving decision making in dynamic tasks. Part III focuses on the design, development and application of Fish Bank ILE, in laboratory experiments, to gather empirical evidence for the validity of the process model. Finally, part IV presents a comprehensive analysis of the gathered data to provide a powerful basis for understating important phenomena of training with human facilitated simulation-based learning environments, thereby, help to drive critical lessons to be learned. This book provides the reader with both a comprehensive understanding of the phenomena encountered in decision making with human facilitated ILEs and a unique way of studying the effects of these phenomena on people’s ability to make better decision in complex, dynamic tasks. This book is intended to be of use to managers and practitioners, researchers and students of dynamic decision making. The background material of Part II provides a solid base to understand and organize the existing experimental research literature and approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many complex systems in civil and military operations are highly automated with the intention of supporting human performance in difficult cognitive tasks. The complex systems can involve teams or individuals working on real-time supervisory control, command or information management tasks where a number of constraints must be satisfied. Decision Making in Complex Environments addresses the role of the human, the technology and the processes in complex socio-technical and technological systems. The aim of the book is to apply a multi-disciplinary perspective to the examination of the human factors in complex decision making. It contains more than 30 contributions on key subjects such as military human factors, team decision making issues, situation awareness, and technology support. In addition to the major application area of military human factors there are chapters on business, medical, governmental and aeronautical decision making. The book provides a unique blend of expertise from psychology, human factors, industry, commercial environments, the military, computer science, organizational psychology and training that should be valuable to academics and practitioners alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite intense research on decision-making in action, we still know little about when decision-makers rely on deliberate vs. intuitive decision-making in decision situations under complexity and uncertainty. Building on default-interventionist dual-processing theory, this book studies decision-making modes (deliberate vs. intuitive) in complex task environments contingent on perceived complexity, experience, and decision style preference. We find that relatively inexperienced decision-makers respond to increases in subjective complexity with an increase in deliberation and tend to follow their decision style preference. Experienced decision-makers are less guided by their decision preference and respond to increases in subjective complexity only minimally. This book contributes to a developing stream of research linking decision-making with intra-personal and environmental properties and fosters our understanding of the conditions under which decision-makers rely on intuitive vs. deliberate decision modes. In doing so, we go one step further towards a comprehensive theory of decision-making in action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decision making arises when we wish to select the best possible course of action from a set of alternatives. With advancements of the digital technologies, it is easy, and almost instantaneous, to gather a large volume of information and/or data pertaining to a problem that we want to solve. For instance, the world-wi- web is perhaps the primary source of information and/or data that we often turn to when we face a decision making problem. However, the information and/or data that we obtain from the real world often are complex, and comprise various kinds of noise. Besides, real-world information and/or data often are incomplete and ambiguous, owing to uncertainties of the environments. All these make decision making a challenging task. To cope with the challenges of decision making, - searchers have designed and developed a variety of decision support systems to provide assistance in human decision making processes. The main aim of this book is to provide a small collection of techniques stemmed from artificial intelligence, as well as other complementary methodo- gies, that are useful for the design and development of intelligent decision support systems. Application examples of how these intelligent decision support systems can be utilized to help tackle a variety of real-world problems in different - mains, e. g. business, management, manufacturing, transportation and food ind- tries, and biomedicine, are also presented. A total of twenty chapters, which can be broadly divided into two parts, i. e.

Download or read book Intelligent Instruction of Dynamic Decision Making Tasks written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very many of the high-level decision tasks in both the military and private sector involve a complex problem situation changing over time and at least partially in response to the decision maker's actions. Gaining proficiency in such tasks as tactical decision making, response to natural disasters, and hostage negotiation typically requires many years of training and experience. A simulation-based system, D3M (Dynamic Discrete Decision Making), provides a relatively realistic environment in which to learn and practice managing such operations. The instructional system has the capacities 1) to demonstrate exercises previously worked by experts and issue those experts' rationale as the exercise unfolds, 2) to adaptively produce practice exercises at a difficulty level appropriate to the individual learner, 3) to monitor the learner's actions in relation to critical-condition specifications defined by task experts, and 4) to maintain the status of learning objectives achieved by the learner.
