Modeling human operators on a microcomputer: A micro version of SAINT

Abstract

During the past decade, significant advances have been made in the tools available for human performance modeling. Primary advances have been in the development of languages aimed specifically at operator modeling; concurrently, microcomputer technology has been advancing rapidly. A language, which is conceptually similar to some other network modeling languages, was designed for human operator modeling on a microcomputer. Although this language is more limited in some respects; it is easier to use. The language's capabilities, limitations and opera tional tests of its efficiency are presented.
