The Human-Electronic Crew: The Right Stuff? Proceedings of the 4th Joint GAF/RAF/USAF Workshop on Human-Computer Teamwork

Abstract

The components integral to the operation of an Electronic Crew member (EC) have started to take shape. Questions have been raised as to the nature of the EC when finished. What are the key components that will ensure a successful emergence of this new technology? How can we plan for their development and incorporate the software and hardware elements to function in concert with one another. The purpose of this workshop was to examine these concerns. The key questions to be addressed were: (1) What are the core qualities that the Electronic Crew member must possess? (2) How does one estimate the amount of software code involved? (3) What are the key software modules? (4) What is necessary to ensure the modules function symbiotically? (5) What is sufficient functionality within the Electronic Crew member to satisfy the human operator requirements?
