Using Delegation as an Architecture for Adaptive Automation

Abstract : Humans and automation can interact in a huge range of different ways, and the number of ways increases as computer technology enables automation to do more, and do it via new and different modalities. A "Level of Automation: framework, as we defined it above, is simply a convenient parsing of the myriad different ways humans and automation can interact into some convenient set of categories or levels. In such frameworks, an LOA labels a range of relatively homogenous, alternate human-automation relationships.
