A context-based approach to training situation awareness

Abstract: Historically, a significant number of accidents in complex systems have been attributed to a lack of situation awareness (SA). Despite increased use of automation and improvements in display design to improve SA, re-design is unable to completely eliminate accidents of these types. One viable option is to train operators to acquire and to maintain situation awareness. We propose employing expert knowledge in a context-based approach to train SA. We describe an initial computational architecture for implementing an intelligent coach for training SA. This description includes how this computational architecture can be integrated with an existing intelligent aid to become a tutor-aid for situation awareness.

Low-level and high-level CSCW support in the Serendipity process modelling environment

Abstract: In order to effectively collaborate using large cooperative work systems, both low-level and high-level CSCW facilities are required. Low-level mechanisms, including collaborative editing, messaging, annotations and communication, are needed. For large-scale cooperation, they should be augmented with higher-level process modelling, work coordination and work context awareness facilities. We describe the integration of both low-level and high-level support for cooperative work in the Serendipity process modelling environment, and discuss our experience of using these facilities.
