Some Formal Aspects of Human- Automation Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses a formal, mathematically-based, approach to the analysis of operator interaction with machines, in general, and with complex and automated control systems, in particular. It addresses the problem of correctness of displays by asking whether the display provides the necessary information about the machine to enable the operator to perform a specified task successfully and unambiguously. A formal methodology for verification of interface correctness is outlined. Additionally, a formal procedure for display synthesis, whose objective is to provide a succinct and correct interface for the specified task, is briefly discussed. Special attention is placed on the analysis of pilots’ interaction with automated flight control systems onboard a modern commercial aircraft.

A Methodology for Analyzing Human-Automation Interactions in Flight Operations Using Formal Verification Techniques
When designing and developing systems in safety critical or cost intensive environments it is important to identify as much potential risks as possible prior to operating the system. This includes aspects of the interaction between human and automation systems that are prone to issues. This work-in-progress paper describes a methodology that systematically derives relevant analysis questions fo...
متن کاملTwo Modelling Approaches Applied to User Interfaces to Theorem Proving Assistants
We model the domain of formal proof without allocating speciic functions to the user or the computer. This allows us to deene key attributes of proof succinctly. Then we model some aspects of the user's interaction with a theorem proving assistant which provides automation only of the lowest level functions. This model is then used to understand some of the strengths and weaknesses of an existi...
متن کاملAnalysis of Automation Surprises in Human-Machine Systems with Time Information
This paper analyzes automation surprises in humanmachine systems with time information. Automation surprises are phenomena such that the underlying machine’s behavior diverges from user’s intention and may lead to critical situations. Thus, designing humanmachine systems without automation surprises is one of fundamental issues to achieve reliable user interaction with the machines. In this pap...
متن کاملFormally Verifying Human-automation Interaction with Specification Properties Generated from Task Analytic Models
Human-automation interaction (HAI) is a major contributor to failures in aerospace systems, often due to unexpected interactions between system components. Formal verification is a method of analysis that exhaustively examines all of the interaction in a formal system model to determine if it adheres to desirable specification properties. Task analytic models can be included in formal system mo...
متن کاملA formal framework for the analysis of human-machine interactions
There are more and more automated systems and people are led to interact with them everyday. They are also increasingly complex and exhibit more and more “smart” behaviour. One direct consequence is that it becomes harder for the human operators to drive those systems safely for both the system and the user. Due to that increasing complexity, interactions between users and automated systems are...
