A reactive computational model of En-Route controller

Although computational modeling of human performance provides significant value in complex domains, its use has been mostly confined to simple human computer interaction (HCI) tasks due to difficulty in constructing models in such domains. The aim of this paper is to present the construction of a reactive human performance model from detailed cognitive task analysis in the apex cognitive architecture [Freed, M (1998)]. We show the construction of a sequence of predicted human behavior from elementary human performance templates and further validate the templates by comparing the task completion times to the human-in-the-loop simulation data obtained from the federal aviation administration.
