: Selected recent developments and promising directions for improving the quality of models of human performance in synthetic environments are summarized, beginning with the potential uses and goals for behavioral models. The focus is on providing more complete performance, better integration of the models with synthetic environments and with each other (reusability), and improved usability of the models. Within this context, relevant, current work related to modeling is reviewed, such as cognitive modeling of emotion, advanced techniques for testing and building models of behavior, new cognitive architectures including hybrid architectures, and agent and Belief, Desires and Intentions (BDI) architectures. A list of projects with high payoff for modeling human performance in synthetic environments is provided as a conclusion.

Techniques for Modeling Human Performance in Synthetic Environments: A Supplementary Review

This paper outlines the recent advances in vision systems to enable fully automated control systems to be implemented which produce consistent high quality welds with little, or no, operator input. These systems are based on the use of vision systems to observe: the seam position - for seam tracking and weld parameter prediction; the weld bead - to control the instantaneous welding parameters; and the weld bead profile to allow manipulation of the cosmetic appearance of the bead. Various image acquisition systems and image processing systems are discussed including systems based upon Digital Signal Processors (TEXAS - TMS320C40, AMD SHARC) along with lower cost solutions based upon the PC running Microsoft NT.
