Efforts to characterize controller workload – a key factor in limiting en route capacity – have produced mixed results. Subjective workload ratings reveal significant variations in minimum/maximum workload across individuals and show a categorical jump in perceived workload with a linear increase in aircraft count, making it difficult to predict workload limits with increased traffic. In additi...

Characterizing World Wide Web proxy traac helps identify parameters that aaect caching, capacity planning and simulation studies. In this paper we identify invariants that hold across a collection of ten traces representing traac seen by caching-proxy servers. The traces were collected from governmental, industry, university, high school, and an online service provider environment, with request...

This paper presents an adaptive system intended to address workload imbalances between pilots in future flight decks. Team performance can be maximized when task demands are balanced within crew capabilities and resources. Good communication skills enable teams to adapt to changes in workload, and include the balancing of workload between team members This work addresses human factors prioritie...

Controller workload has been a focal topic in air traffic management research because it is considered a key limiting factor to capacity increase in air traffic operations. Because workload ratings are subjective and highly prone to individual differences, some researchers have tried to replace workload with more objective metrics, such as aircraft count. A significant caveat in substituting th...
