Abstract
In this paper, the ongoing research at JRC-Ispra on the simulation of man-machine interaction is reviewed with reference to the past experience of system modelling and to the advances of the technological world. These require the coalescence of mixed disciplines covering the fields of engineering, psychology and sociology. The complexity of man-machine systems, is depicted by the four key peculiarities: dynamicity, self-referentiality, non-linearity and co-operative decision making. They can be accounted for only through an enormous effort of research and modelling activity. The approach we are proposing in the System Response Analyser for modelling such socio-technical complex systems is identified as linking together contributions from three analytical tools: a quasi-classical simulation of the actual plant, a cognitive model of the operator activities and a driver model. In the paper, these three tools are described in some detail.
