The Use of Machine Aids in Dynamic Multi-Task Environments: A Comparison of an Optimal Model to Human Behavior.

Abstract

Due to developments in the fields of computer and microprocessor technology, more and more tasks that previously only could be done by humans can now be assigned to machines. This study explores cases where such smart machines act as aids to human operators in dynamic multi-task systems. The operator must act as a supervisor and assign these machine aids to tasks he discovers. (Author)
