CRITICAL REVIEW AND ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE MODELS APPLICABLE TO MAN-MACHINE SYSTEMS EVALUATION

This report focuses on the review of potentially relevant models and on the identification of issues in model development and application that may have an important impact on models for large-scale, man-machine systems. A detailed and critical evaluation of several classes of human-performance models is presented. Interrelations among existing models are examined and an evaluation is made on the needs and gaps in the technology. Modelling issues are identified and research recommendations indicated. Approximately forty models techniques that have some applicability to the simulation modelling program are abstracted in the Appendix. (Author)
