Hybrid Rationale For Shared Understanding, David Mott, Cheryl Giammanco, Michael C. Dorneich, Dave Braines
Hybrid Rationale For Shared Understanding, David Mott, Cheryl Giammanco, Michael C. Dorneich, Dave Braines
Michael C. Dorneich
Understanding the reasoning of others is a key aspect to achieving a shared understanding when collaboratively solving a problem, such as the generation of a plan, and recent observations of military planners suggest that it plays a key role in the planning process. An example of rationale is described where a misunderstanding is only resolved by the joint exploration and cross-challenging of the rationale. A prototype tool is described that permits the creation and visualization of the basic rationale via the use of Controlled English (CE). Using the example, the paper explores mechanisms that could potentially make more effective use …

Making Plans Alive, Jitu Pater, Michael C. Dorneich, David Mott, Ali Bahrami, Cheryl Giammanco
Michael C. Dorneich
Over the years, researchers have expended considerable effort in attempts to improve military planning, most notably via the provision of automated planning support tools. While there have been some successes (e.g. the DART system which was used for movement planning during Gulf war), planning still remains a very human‐orientated activity with little technical support. Why? A possible reason for this predicament is that researchers have not fully conceptualized the problem that planners face. For instance, a common approach has been to consider planning as a single process or a homogenous set of problems to be solved. Unfortunately, military planning is …
A Conceptual Framework To Support A Multi-Level Planning Capability, Jitu Patel, Michael C. Dorneich, David Mott, Ali Bahrami, Cheryl Giammanco
A Conceptual Framework To Support A Multi-Level Planning Capability, Jitu Patel, Michael C. Dorneich, David Mott, Ali Bahrami, Cheryl Giammanco

Over the years, military planning has attracted a lot of attention by researchers with the aim of providing automated planning support tools. There have been some successes (e.g., DART system which was used for movement during Gulf war) however, to-date, planning still remains a very human activity with little or no automated support tools. Why? A possible reason for this predicament is that researchers have not fully conceptualized the problem. For instance, a common approach has been to consider planning as a single process or a homogenous set of problems to be solved. Unfortunately, military planning is not a single …
The Combat Causal Reasoner Approach To Robotic Control, Michael C. Dorneich, Stephen D. Whitlow, Eric Olson, David Anhalt, Tracy Monteith
The Combat Causal Reasoner Approach To Robotic Control, Michael C. Dorneich, Stephen D. Whitlow, Eric Olson, David Anhalt, Tracy Monteith
Michael C. Dorneich
This paper describes an approach to autonomous robotic control that enables cooperative, tactically correct robotic behaviors that human teammates understand. For maximum effectiveness, unmanned systems (UMSs) must be able to support dismounted warfighters in high-intensity, high-operational-tempo (OPTEMPO) situations without becoming a source of distraction. Current models of robotic control require overt human tasking, limiting robotics to low OPTEMPO tasks. The Combat Causal Reasoner (CCR) proposes to change the paradigm of UMS autonomy by enabling UMSs to cooperate with humans without expecting the UMS to perceive the environment as a human would. CCR uses a Playbook approach to generate responses that …
Book Review On The Failure Of Risk Management: Why It’S Broken And How To Fix It, By Douglas W. Hubbard (2009)., Cameron A. Mackenzie
Book Review On The Failure Of Risk Management: Why It’S Broken And How To Fix It, By Douglas W. Hubbard (2009)., Cameron A. Mackenzie
Cameron A. MacKenzie
The title The Failure of Risk Management seemsto imply that risk management is useless. However,the subtitle Why It’s Broken and How to Fix It provides a better description of Douglas Hubbard’s contribution to the field of risk analysis. Hubbard criticizes several risk management methods currently used by a wide variety of organizations but also presents a convincing argument for why probabilistic risk analysis using Monte Carlo simulation is the best approach.

The forecasts of the International Civil Aviation Organization envisage a growth in world air travel of 5% per annum until 2020. The air traffic in Europe is therefore expected to more than double by 2020. In order to deal with the growth, the European Air Traffic Management (ATM) system will undergo major changes. The envisaged next generation ATM will require new technologies to meet future collaborative decision making, self separation, precision 4D path following, and closer aircraft spacing. The CAMMI (Cognitive Adaptive Man Machine Interface) program addresses human factors priorities in various domains by developing concepts that balance operator workload, …
Deriving Cursor Control Device Expectations For The Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle, Michael C. Dorneich, Jeff A. Lancaster, Christopher J. Hambin, Olu Olofinboba, Robert E. Demers
Deriving Cursor Control Device Expectations For The Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle, Michael C. Dorneich, Jeff A. Lancaster, Christopher J. Hambin, Olu Olofinboba, Robert E. Demers
Michael C. Dorneich
A unique challenge for the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle is the need for a novel cursor control device (CCD) that allows the crew to interact with display formats while seated and restrained. Display formats will contain "controllable elements" that will be used for input by astronauts, and will most likely not be laid out in a rectilinear grid. A four-way "caged" castle switch on the CCD was designed to travel only to controllable elements toward decreasing erroneous cursor movements. The ability of the four-way castle to intuitively navigate the cursor from a user perspective is a vital consideration. A cursor …
