INTEROPERABLE HUMAN PERFORMANCE MODELLING OF DISTRIBUTED COGNITIVE AGENTS

This paper presents an approach towards distributed human-machine systems based on an open modeling framework. The approach aims to develop a core of new modeling techniques independent of specific engineering domains that allows to analyze different communication channels and cooperation strategies with regard to their effect on the distribution of knowledge and the overall team performance including human errors. The paper presents the framework architecture on a conceptual level derived from a detailed analysis of the communication and cooperation requirements from the perspective of three application scenarios.
