Abstract
The three main task categories in man-machine systems are controlling, planning, and fault managing which are briefly explained in the paper. Their interaction is illustrated schematically with a block diagram and further outlined using Rasmussen's cognitive levels of behaviour. Two paradigms, namely car driving and aircraft piloting, exemplify the nature of the interaction in more detail, partially based on experimental results. The state-of-the-art in modelling these task categories and their interaction is discussed with an emphasis on qualitative vs. quantitative models using control theory, artificial intelligence techniques, and fuzzy set theory. Model-based support and expert systems are mentioned as an important future application.
