In this paper, we propose a discussion on formal notions situation awareness and capacity in a coalition. ..... ... We show the connection of a state-based logical model and an actionbased logical model. The first model, named Interpreted systems is based on epsitimic logic notions and has been identified as a candidate for the formalisation of the situation analysis problem. The second model, ...

Within the field of computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) concepts of mutual awareness of groupware users are of increasing importance (McDaniel/ Brinck 1997). Awareness functionality supports the coordination of joint activities. The execution of cooperative work depends crucially on knowledge of the joint context of work. Common concepts of awareness often refer to the manner in which pe...

Measuring Situation Awareness to evaluate an operator’s ability to handle complex dynamic situations and the use of assistance systems have become a standard approach in Human Factors research. Ideally, the operator’s work should be supported by enabling and disabling assistance systems depending on how well they are currently able to keep track of the situation. On the one hand, if the situati...

This study compared pilot situation awareness across three traffic management concepts that varied traffic separation responsibility between the pilots, air-traffic controllers, and an automation system. In Concept 1, the flight deck was equipped with conflict resolution tools that enable them to perform the tasks of weather avoidance and self-separation from surrounding traffic. In Concept 2, ...

Citizens’ observatories are emerging as a means to establish interaction and co-participation between citizens and authorities during both emergencies and the day-to-day management of fundamental resources. In this paper we present a case study in which a model of citizens’ observatories is being been translated into practice in the WeSenseIt project. The WeSenseIt citizens’ observatory provide...

In place of battlefields, the Soldier is placed in roles from peace keeper to combat Soldier in collapsed first world counties to impoverished third world nations. This fogs the understanding of situations and the role the Soldier is to play in them. Within these changing and dynamic times, a Soldier’s situatio...
