Manning and Automation Model for Naval Ship Analysis and Optimization
… the problem by breaking down the complex functions and tasks of a ship's crew. The program builds large and complex functions from small related tasks. This simplifies the calculation of personnel and time utilization, and allows a more flexible scheme for building complex mission …

Validation of a Task Network Human Performance Model of Driving
… of development. HPM was used to investigate function allocation in crews for future combat vehicles. The tasks required by the operators centered around three primary functions, commanding, gunning, and driving. In initial investigations, the driver appeared to be the crew member with the …

Sex Allocation in the Caribbean Coral, <em>Porites astreoides</em> (Lamarck)
… organisms, but may also be advantageous because allocation to male and female function can be manipulated to maximize fitness when energy availability limits reproduction. Sex allocation theory has been primarily developed in plants, but may be applicable to other sessile organisms that are …

Semi-structured decision processes : a conceptual framework for understanding human-automation systems
… between humans and machines (a task known as "function allocation"), this thesis is primarily intended to help designers incorporate automation more appropriately within these systems. This thesis does not provide a design methodology, but introduces a way to qualitatively analyze potential …

Designing Explainable In-vehicle Agents for Conditionally Automated Driving: A Holistic Examination with Mixed Method Approaches
… we do not always understand how AV systems function and make decisions. Consequently, drivers might develop inaccurate mental models and form unrealistic expectations of these systems, leading to unwanted incidents. Although efforts have been made to support drivers' understanding of AVs …

The Impact Of Mental Transformation Training Across Levels Of Automation On Spatial Awareness In Human-robot Interaction
… is the use of automation (i.e., assigning functions to the robot). According to Malleable Attentional Resource Theory (MART), variation in workload across levels of automation affects an operator's attentional capacity to process critical cues like those that enable an operator to …

Dynamic human-computer collaboration in real-time unmanned vehicle scheduling
… that can be used in UV path-planning and task allocation usually have an a priori coded objective function that only takes into account pre-determined variables with set weightings. Due to the complex, time-critical, and dynamic nature of command and control missions, brittleness due to a …

DETECTION OF OPERATOR PERFORMANCE BREAKDOWN IN A MULTITASK ENVIRONMENT
The purpose of this dissertation work is: 1) to empirically demonstrate an extreme human operator’s state, performance breakdown (PB), and 2) to develop an objective method for detecting such a state. PB has been anecdotally described as a state where the human operator “loses control of the …

Computational Augmentation of Model Based System Engineering: Supporting Mechatronic System Model Development with AI Technologies
… languages and of generic structural and functional concepts using meta-models. Modelling the system using descriptive models helps the designer to explicitly document dependencies between properties and parameters of system and external entities. The descriptive models thus produced often …
