Responses of Decision Making Teams to Adaptive Architectures: A Final Report
Abstract
The research reported here is part of a larger project designed to develop, assess and understand adaptive structures for command and control teams. Much of that project, the A2C2 project, uses a simulated command and control exercise (the Distributed Dynamic Decision-making Simulation (DDD)) and naval personnel who perform experimental exercises presented to them under controlled conditions. Our research is designed to focus on human behaviors relevant to the A2C2 project that cannot be sufficiently assessed in the simulation. Specifically, the effort reported here involved adapting the DDD exercise for use with large numbers of teams and to compare individual and team performance across these teams. The research assessed the impact of different team architectures, situational demands and team composition on the performance and adaptability of teams on the command and control exercise. An appendix to this report lists products produced during the funding period with citations to articles and presentations for the interested reader.
