The Playbook (Trademark) Approach to Adaptive Automation

Abstract

SIFT has pioneered a human-automation integration architecture, called Playbook(TM), based on a shared model of the tasks in the domain. This shared task model provides a means of human-automation communication about plans, goals, methods and resource usage a process akin to referencing plays in a sports team's playbook. The Playbook enables human operators to interact with subordinate systems with the same flexibility as with well-trained human subordinates, thus allowing for adaptive automation. We describe this approach and its application in an ongoing project called Playbook-enhanced Variable Autonomy Control System(TM) (P-VACS).
