Embedding Cognitive Systems into Systems Engineering Practice

Abstract

Research and Development of the Acquisition Practitioner Support Environment (APSE) is described. Product is a web-enabled guide to in-engineers, human systems engineers/integrators and cognitive engineers. Deliverables were selected for value in incorporating human abilities, limitations, preferences and costs in development, operations and sustainment activities. APSE instantiates a model process, the goal of which is to provide improved mission performance and reduced total ownership costs. Also described are efforts to create market for the product. These activities involved creating awareness of human systems integration and cognitive engineering value in systems engineering and project/program management communities.
