Abstract
NASA is embarking on many aerospace programs that promise to provide greatly enhanced system capability and performance, along with reduced development and operational costs. A principal approach to accomplishing these objectives, human-centered computing, will involve powerful information technologies including human performance modeling capabilities. The new NASA human-centered computing initiative takes a systems perspective, and seeks to leverage and support human intelligence and flexibility with the power and capabilities of increasingly sophisticated machine systems. This perspective promises a changing human-automation systems balance of work and new task allocation strategies. This presentation provides a discussion of the role of human-centered computing in several key advanced NASA aeronautics and space programs, such as the Advanced Air Traffic Technology (AATT) Program, the Intelligent Synthesis Environment, the X-33 Technology Demonstrator Program, and the Mars Pathfinder mission. The new Intelligent Systems (IS) Research Program that supports this approach will also be described.
