“…As shown in Table 2, the systems investigated include information retrieval (Xu et al, 1999), medical (Sharp and Helmicki, 1998), network management (Burns et al, 2003), aviation (Borst et al, 2006), and military command and control (Bennett et al, 2008;Hall et al, 2012) systems. All of these studies were concerned with medium-scale or large-scale problems.…”

Jens Rasmussen's multifaceted legacy includes cognitive work analysis (CWA), a framework for the analysis, design, and evaluation of complex sociotechnical systems. After considering the framework's origins, this paper reviews its progress, predictably covering experimental research on ecological interface design, case studies of the application of CWA to human factors and engineering problems in industry, and methods and modelling tools for CWA. Emphasis is placed, however, on studying the nexus between some of the recent results obtained with CWA and the original field studies of human problem-solving that motivated the framework's development. Of particular interest is a case study of the use of CWA for military doctrine development, a problem commonly regarded as lying outside the fields of human factors and engineering. It is concluded that the value of CWA, even for such diverse problems, is likely to result from its conceptual grounding in empirical observations of patterns of human reasoning in complex systems.

Abstract:In the design of human-machine interfaces and automation, an important question is how to obtain and validate a design that is capable of supporting the operator's understanding and situation awareness of the process under control. Whereas many research efforts address the question of 'what is the operator aware of?' -the awareness -only a few investigations focus on studying what the operator should be aware of in the first place, i.e., 'what is the situation?' In this paper we briefly discuss some of our research activities which aim at answering this second question, following an 'ecological approach' to interface design. The clever use of automation tools and novel visualizations will be presented that allows human operators working in aviation (pilots, air traffic controllers) in dealing with complex tasks. The airborne self-separation task will be discussed, as an example of showing how ecological interfaces can support pilots in their decision making.

“…Along the vertical axis, commonly five levels represent the workspace at decreasing levels of abstraction, starting at the top with the purpose(s) for which the system was designed, all the way down to the spatial topology, properties, and appearance of the components that make up the system on the bottom level [40], [44]. In previous studies on a workspace analysis for the air transport domain, it showed that dividing the horizontal dimension of the AH between items "internal", and "external" to the ownship, provides a logical structure for an abstraction hierarchy that describes this domain [35], [36], [45].

Abstract-In the context of the NextGen and SESAR future airspace programmes, this paper describes a concept for an Airborne Separation Assurance (ASAS) display, that is designed to aid pilots in their task of self-separation, by visualizing the possibilities for conflict resolution that the airspace provides. This work is part of an ongoing research towards an ecological design of a separation assistance interface that can present all the relevant properties of the spatio-temporal separation problem. A work-domain analysis is described from which several perspective projections of traffic properties and travel constraints are derived. A display concept is proposed that presents heading and altitude action possibilities in a flight-path angle -track angle action space. Key issues in the current design are discussed, with recommendations for future work.
