This paper is an accumulation and categorization of training systems research issues which are critical in making training device design decisions. The training system research issues are organized around an Instructional Systems Development (ISD) type framework, and the research literature on these issues is reviewed. A means for accumulating new and existing data as well as accessing the empirically derived information and generating training device design guidance is proposed.

Recent advances in avionic systems technology offer facilities to combat aircraft designers to transform completely the potential of engines and airframes into more powerful total weapons systems. To date there has been no serious attempt to equate the problems created by increasing complexity and cost of systems with the costs and benefits offered by aircrew. The ability of aircrew to achieve benefit from systems without an unacceptable attendant level of cockpit workload, requires study....

Computer-based methods were developed for describing the salient features of pilot performance on complex flight tasks. These methods extend and generalize a new approach to performance analysis expressly designed to mirror the procedures used by expert instructors in analyzing simulator flight data and diagnosing trainee errors. A data base for guiding the development of this instructor model of performance analysis was provided by a set of ILS approach tasks flown on the ORLY simulator....

We consider the problem of 20 questions with noise for collaborative players under the minimum entropy criterion in the setting of stochastic search, with application to target localization. First, assuming conditionally independent collaborators, we characterize the structure of the optimal policy for constructing the sequence of questions. This generalizes the single player probabilistic bisection method for stochastic search problems. Second, we prove a separation theorem showing that...

A method for automatically drawing general directed graphs of communicating sequential programs is presented. The primary reason for developing the heuristic was to create a user tool, called the Graphics Support System, for describing and documenting software configurations. These are graphs of nodes of processes in a message based system. A drawing of a configuration contains three main elements: nodes representing processes, arcs representing Data Transfer Streams which interconnect nodes,...

Due to a wide selection of machines with vastly different charging algorithms, the question arises 'which machine is the most cost-effective'. The program's behavior and the impact on charges on different machines need to be explored. Accuracy and correctness of the results and the system's reliability also need consideration. Human factors influence quality as well. A procedure and system is discussed which evaluates these factors and their relationship with each other.

One of the central problems in spatial language understanding is the polysemy and the vagueness of spatial terms, which cannot be resolved by lexical knowledge alone. We address this issue by developing a representation framework for functional interactions between objects and agents. We use this framework with a constraint solver to resolve and recover the meanings of spatial descriptions for object placement tasks. We describe our approach in a virtual environment with an example of object...

The need for better design of user interfaces (UI) has been required by the ever-increasing complexity of command and control (C2) systems, the life cycle constraints (LCC), and the increasing operational dynamics and needs of the combatant commanders (COCOM). With usability issues becoming widespread in the C2 community, there is now an even greater need for UI standardization, which is advanced by the plan to adopt a UI style guide for C2 systems. Although UI standardization in the form of a...

Several organizations within the government and industry are researching ways to help humans understand and react to events in space. Gaining space situational awareness (SSA) is both helped and complicated by the fact that there are numerous information sources that need to be planned (i.e., tasked), collected, processed, analyzed, and disseminated. This paper will outline areas of science and technology (S&T) related to human-centric SSA and space command and control (C2) and discuss...

Many interfaces have been designed to prevent or reduce errors. These interfaces may, in fact, reduce the error rate of specific error classes, but may also have unintended consequences. In this paper, we show a series of studies where a better interface did not reduce the number of errors but instead shifted errors from one error class \(omissions) to another error class (perseverations). We also show that having access to progress tracking (1a progress bar) does not reduce the number of...

Postcompletion error (PCE) is a type of systematic procedural error that people are prone to commit when there is one step to perform after they have accomplished their main task goal. A computational cognitive model developed previously for PCE in an interruption paradigm extends to a working memory load and capacity paradigm. The model explains PCE in terms of long-term declarative memory mechanisms opposing base-level activation with spreading activation.
