Adaptive Automation using an object-orientated task model
conference paper
On naval ships the crew is assisted by a combat management system (CMS) in their assessment of the tactical
situation around the ship and their subsequent actions. Today’s information-rich littoral environments force
operators to divide attention between different information items. The risk of overload is imminent and the concept
of adaptive automation can aid the operator. The first concept refers to the dynamic division of work between
operator and system. We propose an object-oriented method to realize the concepts of adaptive automation in a
CMS. The object-oriented approach allows a sufficiently fine-grained division of work between system and operator
that the latter’s workload is reduced while keeping his situational awareness intact.
