Pioneers in Cognitive Engineering & Decision Making Research – Foundational Contributions to the Science of Human-Automation Interaction

Abstract

The objective of this Cognitive Engineering & Decision Making (CEDM) Technical Group (TG) panel is to recognize "Pioneers in Human-Automation Interaction Research" and to provide Annual Meeting attendees with knowledge of the origins of adaptive automation, control theoretic approaches to human performance, implications of levels of complex system automation for human performance, and methods for operator functional state classification. Based on their seminal contributions to research in these areas, Drs. Peter Hancock, Richard Jagacinski, Raja Parasuraman, Chris Wickens and Glenn Wilson will participate in the session. Dr. Hancock will provide a personal retrospective on adaptive automation. Dr. Jagacinski will draw parallels between manual control and decision theories. Dr. Parasuraman will trace the history of adaptive automation research. Dr. Wickens will discuss failures in conventional wisdom on humanautomation interaction (HAI) and methods for systems design and Dr. Wilson will address the use of physiological measures for operator functional state classification in adaptive systems. The panel session is expected to promote further understanding among human factors researchers of concepts, theories and design principles of HAI and why we are at where we are today.
