Agent Based Modeling of Collaboration and Work Practices Onboard the International Space Station
نویسندگان
چکیده
The International Space Station is one the most complex projects ever, with numerous interdependent constraints affecting productivity and crew safety. This requires planning years before crew expeditions, and the use of sophisticated scheduling tools. Human work practices, however, are difficult to study and represent within traditional planning tools. We present an agent-based model and simulation of the activities and work practices of astronauts onboard the ISS. The model represents “a day in the life” of the ISS crew and is developed in Brahms— an agent-oriented, activity-based language used to model knowledge in situated action and learning in human

Multiagent Plan Execution and Work Practice Modeling plans and work practices onboard the ISS
Numerous interdependent and uncertain constraints affect plan execution onboard a space ship. Plans are often invalid as they are being executed in the real world. Human work practices partly develop to deal with these realities. However, practices are difficult to study and represent within traditional planning tools. We discuss how modeling the work practices of the ISS Crew is used to develo...

متن کاملMulti-agent Simulation to Implementation: A Practical Engineering Methodology for Designing Space Flight Operations
OCAMS is a practical engineering application of multi-agent systems technology, involving redesign of the tools and practices in a complex, distributed system. OCAMS is designed to assist flight controllers in managing interactions with the file system onboard the International Space Station. The “simulation to implementation” development methodology combines ethnography, participatory design, ...
متن کاملMultiagent Work Practice Simulation: Progress and Challenges
Modeling and simulating complex human-system interactions requires going beyond formal procedures and information flows to analyze how people interact with each other. Such work practices include conversations, modes of communication, informal assistance, impromptu meetings, workarounds, and so on. To make these social processes visible, we have developed a multiagent simulation tool, called Br...
متن کاملCollaboration space division in collaborative product development based on a genetic algorithm
The advance in the global environment, rapidly changing markets, and information technology has created a new stage for design. In such an environment, one strategy for success is the Collaborative Product Development (CPD). Organizing people effectively is the goal of Collaborative Product Development, and it solves the problem with certain foreseeability. The development group activities are ...
