In order to deliver relevant information at the right time to its mobile users, systems such as event notification systems need to be aware of the users’ context (e. g., time, location, used devices). Many context frameworks have been introduced in the past few years. However, they usually do not consider the notion of characteristic features of contexts that are invariant during certain time i...

Situation awareness is a variety of cognitive processes employed by operators in a complex and dynamic environment to understand the current state of the environment in order to know its future state. Information systems designed on the principle of situation awareness adopt the technique of user-centred design (UCD) methodology. A UCD approach involves users in system development process to ma...

This study compared pilot situation awareness across three traffic management concepts. The Concepts varied in terms of the allocation of traffic avoidance responsibility between the pilot on the flight deck, the air traffic controllers, and a conflict resolution automation system. In Concept 1, the flight deck was equipped with conflict resolution tools that enable them to fully handle the res...

Given the importance of Situation Awareness (SA) in military operations, there is a critical need for a realtime, unobtrusive tool that objectively and reliably measures warfighters’ SA in both training and operations. Just as the requirement for improved access to SA measures has become vital, it is now commonplace for military team communications to be mediated by technology, hence easily cap...

Situation awareness (SA) is the 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 (Endsley M. 1988). A critical aspect of the situation awareness (SA) problem is that agents must construct an overall view of a dynamically changing world using limited sensor channels. For inst...

Samenvatting Gebaseerd op “Web-technologie” is een nieuw gebruikersinterface-paradigma ontwikkeld: de “Network User Interface” (NUI). Dit paradigma biedt nieuwe mogelijkheden voor de interactie met diensten voor informatie en commercie, maar brengt ook nieuwe problemen met zich mee zoals desoriëntatie en moeizame navigatie. De veronderstelling is dat een deel van deze problemen veroorzaakt word...

for examining situation awareness requirements that incorporates both individual and team situation awareness perspectives. In the present study, inquires were conducted in the field maintenance setting at a major airline. Contextual inquires were combined with a goal directed task analysis to specify the situation awareness requirements involved in each of the interactions (between and within ...

In this paper we present an ontology for situation awareness. One of our goals is to support the claim that this ontology is a reasonable candidate for representing various scenarios of situation awareness. Towards this aim we provide an explanation of the meaning of this ontology, show its expressiveness and demonstrate its extensibility. We also compare the expressiveness of this ontology wit...

John Boyd noticed in the 1960’s the importance of Situation Awareness for military operations and introduced the notion of the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act) [1]. There are many applications that have to deal with Situation Awareness: CRM, HCM, SCM, patient care, power grid management, and cloud services management; the list seems to be endless. Situation awareness requires applic...

Computational models of situation awareness can be of interest for different purposes, varying from the study of human cognition in demanding circumstances to the development of human-like virtual opponents in serious gaming applications. This paper presents a novel model of situation awareness, which extends previous work at a number of points. In particular, the model incorporates qualitative...
