In this paper we are concerned with event-based situation analysis. Application areas include the understanding and awareness of complex unfolding scenarios such as homeland security threats and future battlespace engagements. The paper (i) discusses the differences between the environments/requirements for event-based management and situation management, (ii) presents an argument for an integr...

When collaborating, individuals rely on situation awareness (the gathering, incorporation and utilization of environmental information) to help them combine their unique knowledge and skills and achieve their goals. When collaborating across distances, situation awareness is mediated by technology. There are few guidelines to help system analysts design systems or applications that support the ...

This study investigated pilots' taxi performance, situation awareness and workload while taxiing with three different head-up display (HUD) symbology formats: Command-guidance, Situation-guidance and Hybrid. Command-guidance symbology provided the pilot with required control inputs to maintain centerline position; Situation-guidance symbology provided conformal, scene-linked navigation informat...

This study aims to clarify and capture the nature of electronic situational awareness and its interface with electro/mechanical systems. It argues that “autonomous situation awareness” is about the sufficiency of awareness for autonomy in the situation at hand. The approach is calibrated through historical case studies, and the study then considers the potential from near to mid term technology.

The concept of situation awareness is essential in enhancing collaborative learning. Learners require information from different awareness aspects to deduce a learning situation for decision-making. Designing learning environments that assist learners to understand situation awareness via monitoring actions and reaction of other learners has been reported to be beneficial in enhancing collabora...

Versatile Information Systems, Inc. (VIS) has been applying Semantic Web technologies to the problems of situation awareness and information fusion for more than five years. Situation awareness involves the real-time processing of event-based information coming from an evolving situation in an attempt to understand what is happening. In our view, situation awareness primarily comes down to iden...
