Collaborative Technologies and their Effect on Operator Workload in BMC2 Domains

Abstract

A primary goal of this project is to understand how introduction of collaborative technologies affects performance and workload associated with C2 tasks. Accomplishing this goal requires multidimensional measurement of workload and analysis of the associations and dissociations that occur between workload and task performance (Matthews, 2001; O'Donnell & Eggemeier, 1986). Each methodology (performance, physiological measurement, and subjective response) offers a separate vista through which the interaction of workload and human performance can be viewed and therefore provide a more comprehensive and accurate assessment. We intend to transfer the techniques and developed methodologies derived for the measurement of the response of the individual to a companion method aimed at providing a comprehensive analysis of the operational context.
