Manned System Modeling: SAINT (Systems Analysis of Integrated Networks of Tasks) Applied to Strategic Navigation,

Abstract : SAINT is an acronym for Systems Analysis of Integrated Networks of Tasks. The SAINT symbol set was developed to permit modeling manned systems. An associated computer program performs analyses of SAINT models. Given the opportunity to develop models of manned system performance by monitoring real-time mission scenario simulations, techniques can be developed for incorporating human factors considerations into military operations research. The continuation of such empirical efforts also permits the subsequent validation of the models built upon prior results. A library of such models would provide prototypes for those wishing to model man in other system contexts.
