Situated cognitive engineering : Developing adaptive track handling support for naval command and control centers
conference paper
Future naval missions set high operational, human factors, and technical demands for a system that enhances human-machine teamsÂ’ capabilities to cope with complex and potentially hazardous situations. This paper presents a situated Cognitive Engineering (sCE) methodology for an integrated analysis of these three types of demands, the derivation and maintenance of a requirements baseline with its rationale, and the refinement and validation processes of the requirements (including human-in-the-loop evaluations of simulation-based prototypes). Application of this method provided a coherent and concise compilation of design knowledge for an Adaptive Automation (AA) module for track identification: a theoretical and empirical founded Requirements Baseline with its design rationale consisting of core functions, claims, scenarios and use cases. The core functions focused on coping with workload dynamics and maintaining situation awareness; for each core function we specified claims on the operational effects and requirements for the system, which were added to the use cases specifications. The evaluation showed that the specified AA-module helps to reduce workload and maintain adequate situation awareness during critical naval missions.
Dit artikel presenteert een 'situated cognitive engineering' (SCE) methode voor het verkrijgen van een theoretisch en empirisch onderbouwde Requirements Baseline, waarin operationele, human factors, en technische eisen in samenhang naar voren komen. De methode wordt toegelicht met een ontwerp van een 'Adaptive automation' module voor track identificatie in de commandocentrale van marine schepen.
