Human-Centered Computing for Aerospace Applications

NASA and the aerospace community are embarking on a broad range of new programs that promise to provide greatly enhanced system capability and performance, along with reduced costs for development and operations. The technologies being used to achieve mission and program objectives include intelligent agents and autonomous systems that provide self-directed and goal-oriented behavior. One of’ the key system-design approaches that will enable such systems is human-centered computing. This design approach seeks to balance mission tasks appropriately between human and machine intelligence, while enhancing unique human performance capabilities.\
