This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes all papers presented at the International Symposium on Monitoring Behavior and Supervisory Control held at Berchtesgaden, Federal Republic of Germany, March 8-12, 1976. The Symposium was sponsored by the Scientific Affairs Division of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Brussels, and the government of the Federal Republic of Germany, Bonn. We believe the book constitutes an important and timely status report on monitoring behavior and supervisory control by human operators of complex man-machine systems in which the computer is sharing key functions with the man. These systems include aircraft and other vehicles, nuclear and more conventional power plants, and processes for the manu facture of chemicals, petroleum, and discrete parts. By "monitoring" we mean the systematic observation by a human operator of mul tiple sources of information, e. g. , ranging from integrated display consoles to disparate "live situations". The monitor's purpose is to determine whether operations are normal and proceeding as desired, and to diagnose difficulties in the case of abnormality or undesirable outcomes. By "supervisory control" we mean control by a human operator of a computer which, at a lower level, is controlling a dynamic system. In such systems, the computer-control normally operates continuously or at high data rates in loops closed through electromechanical sensors and motors. By contrast, the human operator normally signals or reprograms the computer intermittently or at a much slower pace. The human operator handles the higher level tasks and determines the goals of the overall system.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper summarizes a five-day NATO-sponsored symposium which had as its objective the convening of scientists and engineers involved with the complex man-machine relationships in controlling vehicles and large scale processes. Thirty-eight presentations were given, covering the general topics of man-vehicle control general models and process control. Much attention was given to the changing role of man from controller to system supervisor; to the impact of this change on training, selection, mathematical modeling of complex systems and human performance; and to the measurement of operator workload. Presentations included descriptions of newly developed models, individual display and control systems, and the interaction of man and his computer 'slave'. proceedings of the symposium will be published.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report of a workshop on Supervisory Control was compiled under the Review of the National Research Council. Supervisory control is the human activity involved in initiating, monitoring, and adjusting processes in systems that are otherwise automatically controlled. The two-day workshop covered three major themes: (1) concepts and characteristics of supervisory control systems, (2) the choice of appropriate research vehicles, and (3) the interchange between researchers and designers. Summary conclusions are: (1) it is useful to characterize the emergency class of human-supervised, computer-controlled systems by strict as well as broader definitions. (2) no single or simple model of supervisory control is appropriate at this time. (3) experimenting with supervisory control systems is difficult for various reasons. (4) experienced subjects are essential for research. (5) supervisory control systems can never be completely closed, since the human supervisor must have the capability to set subgoals. (6) better guidance from researchers is needed for designers and operators, in the form of principles and checklists. Various articles cover the analysis of supervisory control systems and behavior, mental models, matching mental models of operators and designers and models of human performance. Failure modes are also discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The trusted handbook—now in a new edition This newly revised handbook presents a multifaceted view of systems engineering from process and systems management perspectives. It begins with a comprehensive introduction to the subject and provides a brief overview of the thirty-four chapters that follow. This introductory chapter is intended to serve as a "field guide" that indicates why, when, and how to use the material that follows in the handbook. Topical coverage includes: systems engineering life cycles and management; risk management; discovering system requirements; configuration management; cost management; total quality management; reliability, maintainability, and availability; concurrent engineering; standards in systems engineering; system architectures; systems design; systems integration; systematic measurements; human supervisory control; managing organizational and individual decision-making; systems reengineering; project planning; human systems integration; information technology and knowledge management; and more. The handbook is written and edited for systems engineers in industry and government, and to serve as a university reference handbook in systems engineering and management courses. By focusing on systems engineering processes and systems management, the editors have produced a long-lasting handbook that will make a difference in the design of systems of all types that are large in scale and/or scope.
Download or read book Attention written by Arthur F. Kramer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of attention in the laboratory has been crucial to understanding the mechanisms that support several different facets of attentional processing: Our ability to both divide attention among multiple tasks and stimuli, and selectively focus it on task-relevant information, while ignoring distracting task-irrelevant information, as well as how top-down and bottom-up factors influence the way that attention is directed within and across modalities. Equally important, however, is research that has attempted to scale up to the real world this empirical work on attention that has traditionally been well controlled by limited laboratory paradigms and phenomena. These types of basic and theoretically guided applied research on attention have benefited immeasurably from the work of Christopher Wickens. This book honors Wickens' many important contributions to the study of attention by bringing together researchers who examine real-world attentional problems and questions in light of attentional theory. The research fostered by Wickens' contributions will enrich not only our understanding of human performance in complex real-world systems, but also reveal the gaps on our knowledge of basic attentional processes.

Book excerpt: Drawn from a June 1999 conference of the same name, 18 papers explore the role of human error in causing accidents and inefficiencies in automated processes and discuss engineering solutions to the design of systems and processes. Emphasizing case studies and examples from the transport and process control industries, the papers are organized into the topic areas of human performance, methods, and control room design. Individual topics include situation awareness, teamworking, training for control room tasks, allocation of human and machine functions, task analysis, development of a railway ergonomics control assessment package, design of alarm systems, control desks in power generation, and integrated platform management system design for naval warships.
