Young Investigator Program (8.5): Preventing Complex Failures of Human Interactive Systems with Erroneous Behavior Generation and Robust Human Task Behavior Patterns
Abstract
Task 1.1 defined our erroneous behavior taxonomy based on where and why erroneous behaviors occur as deviations from task models. To accomplish this, we defined our taxonomy using the Enhanced Operator Function Model (EOFM) (an example is shown in Fig. 1). EOFM is appropriate for this because it has a formal semantics(Fig. 2) that describes exactly how a task model rendered in it can be performed. This treats every activity and action as a finite state machine to explicitly represent how a task should execute normatively. A human who erroneously diverges from a task will do so by violating the formal semantics of a task. Thus, our taxonomy classifies erroneous human behavior based on how the formal semantics are violated. The nature of the violation shows us at which activity or action the divergent behavior occurred, what the erroneous behaviors was, and which part of the formal semantics were violated (not properly attended to by the human).
