Modeling Team Interaction and Interactive Decision-Making in Agile Human-Machine Teams

Supporting Adaptive Coordination in Human-Autonomy-Teams: A Conceptual Framework

“…In these cases, HATs (re-) direct their behavior and explore their coordination options through verbal communication, dealing with task changes. In contrast, low-performance teams often show rigid behavioral patterns, with fewer spikes in entropy, and fail to manage task disturbances (Demir et al, 2021). When conditions change, these teams do not use directability and fail to modify each other's actions, leading to inappropriate coordination.…”

“…In that regard, HATs can experience all kinds of fluctuations in their task that shift interdependencies. For instance, autonomous teammates may experience technological failure, prompting the team to adapt their workflow pattern and take on different responsibilities (Demir et al, 2021). In addition, outcome dependencies, in the form of collective goals, may be adapted given priority changes or perturbations in the task environment.…”

From Teams to Teamness: Future Directions in the Science of Team Cognition

“…Teamness conceptually allows us to answer the question of how a team appears more team-like at one point in time over another by qualifying the differences and similarities between and within instances of teaming. To illustrate, studies on team coordination dynamics have shown that a team's performance is positively correlated with the variability of its coordination and decisionmaking strategies (Demir et al, 2018(Demir et al, , 2021Gorman et al, 2010). The diversity of a team's coordination strategies over a set of interactions may be a dimension of teamness and might explain the observed relative effectiveness of Centaur teams, in which humans and AI agents form very tightly coupled, often dyadic structures, perform the same tasks as a collective unit that is "half-human, half-AI" (Muller, 2022).…”
