Objective:
This research task, in collaboration with JPL mission system engineers, will demonstrate a range of human-computer interaction models for future NASA mission control centers. CPM-X rapid mathematical analysis of human-computer interaction will provide fast and inexpensive modeling of different levels of expertise or stages of procedural learning by humans, leading to conjoint design and analysis of interfaces and procedures. The task will also provide research on knowledge acquisition and management in the Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) mission.
Applications:
MER operations studies; design of NASA mission control center interfaces and procedures; support for MSL and other missions.
NASA Benefit:
Initial Apex-GOMS extensions produced rapid task-level modeling of human-machine interaction, on the order of 50 times faster than previous methodologies. New work with CPM-X offers even better modeling of human learning and performance for complex tasks, and will aid design of human-friendly interfaces and procedures. Work with JPL is leading toward "control center of the future" concepts, and earth-based demonstrations of Ground Data System (GDS) concepts will be relevant to NASA's new initiative in lunar/planetary exploration.
