Effects of visual perceptual asymmetries on performance while using an aircraft attitude symbology

In applying the Arc-Segmented Attitude Reference (ASAR) symbology in headmounted displays (HMDs), it is uncertain if there is an optimal position for the symbology within the display. Vision science literature regarding visual asymmetries suggests that performance may differ depending upon the combination of the location of this symbology within...

Identifying a possible function for artificial agent adaptation in variable task rate environments

The current research sought to identify a method to calculate agent response time (ART) as a function of inter-arrival time (IAT), which balances human-agent team performance, human engagement, and human workload. A human-in-theloop experiment evaluated human-agent team performance, as measured by team score, human engagement, as measured by the...

Towards a meta-model to specify and design human-agent teams

This paper describes work towards developing a meta-model useful in the design and specification of Human-Agent Teams. The meta-model adapts components from the cognitive systems, human factors, software and systems engineering literature to form a model and language which can be applied early in the system design process. The resulting model...
