AAAI 2000 Fall Symposium on Simulating Human Agents , North Falmouth , MA , USA Modeling and Simulating Human Activity

This paper describes an approach for modeling and simulating the activities of humans and systems in organizations we refer to as work practice modeling. We describe a simulation experiment of the work practice of the Apollo 12 astronauts during the ALSEP offload activity.
