To cope with the emerging demand for individual products and services, new approaches for handling the individualization in dynamic supply chains are needed. Our object of investigation is to establish Situation-awareness (SA) in an assistant information system for supply chain partners to cope with individualization-driven demands. Our contribution is an event-driven architecture design to ena...

Situation Awareness (SA) refers to an individual's “perception of the elements in the environment within a volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their status in the near future [1]”. SA failures have been very well studied in other high risk industries such as aviation that require an exceptionally high performance in a dynamic environment where saf...

This study assessed the utility of measures of situation awareness (SA) and attention allocation for quantifying telepresence, the sense of being present at a remote site, in a teleoperation task scenario. Attention and SA have been identified as cognitive constructs potentially underlying telepresence. The motivation for this research was to establish an objective measure of telepresence and i...

The UK Command Interim Concept outlines agility, emphasising aspects such as responsiveness, adaptability, resilience and flexibility, as a key goal towards which the UK armed forces are heading over the next 20 years. It is expected that the introduction of digitised Communications and Information Systems (CIS) as part of a Network Enabled Capability (NEC) will be a key enabler for agility. To...

Metacognitive monitoring and control of situation awareness (SA) are important for a range of safety-critical roles (e.g., air traffic control, military command and control). We examined the factors affecting these processes using a visual change detection task that included representative tactical displays. SA was assessed by asking novice observers to detect changes to a tactical display. Met...

The United States Government does not endorse products or manufacturers. Trade or manufacturers' names appear herein solely because they are considered essential to the objective of this report. The Federal Aviation Administration plans to consolidate the present Maintenance Control Centers (MCCs) into three Operations Control Centers (OCCs). This consolidation should increase efficiency and se...

Situation-aware (SA) applications are particularly useful for disaster management. The complex nature of emergency scenarios presents challenges to the development of collaborative and distributed SA solutions. These challenges concern the whole lifecycle, from specification to implementation phases, such as how to model the reaction behavior of a detected situation and how to provide an intero...

Under the Next Generation Airspace Transportation System (NGATS), airspace operators will assume new roles and responsibilities in reaction to several essential changes in air traffic management operations, and the introduction of new automation technologies to support these important developments. For these changes to succeed, it is important that the information required of each new operator ...
