Using Process-Oriented Interfaces for Solving the Automation Paradox in Highly Automated Navy Vessels

摘要

This paper describes a coherent engineering method for developing high level human machine interaction within a highly automated environment consisting of sensors, actuators, automatic situation assessors and planning devices. Our approach combines ideas from cognitive work analysis, cognitive engineering, ontology engineering, and task-based prototyping. We describe our experiences with this approach when applying this suite to develop an innovative socio-technical system for fighting the internal battle in navy vessels with a strongly reduced manning.
