Automation is ubiquitous in modern complex systems, and commercial nuclear-power plants
are no exception. Beyond controlling the plant's functions and systems, automation is …

The new generation of nuclear power plants (NPPs) will likely make use of state-of-the-art
technologies in many areas of the plant. The analysis, design, and selection of advanced …

There is perhaps no facet of modern society where the influence of computer automation
has not been felt. Flight management systems for pilots, diagnostic and surgical aids for …

Advanced control rooms will use advanced human-system interface (HSI) technologies that
may have significant implications for plant safety in that they will affect the operators overall …

The paper presents a new Level of Automation Taxonomy developed within the SESAR
programme to classify and compare different kinds of automation support in Air Traffic …

Designers frequently look toward automation as a way to increase system efficiency and
safety by reducing human involvement. This approach often leads to disappointment …

Human-machine interaction (HMI) can be generally defined by drawing upon related
literature on human-computer interaction (HCI) and human-robot interaction (HRI). Indeed …

In this article, we propose the application of a control-theoretic framework to human-
automation interaction. The framework consists of a set of conceptual distinctions that should …

ABSTRACT The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) reviews the human factors
engineering (HFE) programs of applicants for nuclear power plant construction permits …

We review the history of human-automation interaction research, assess its current status
and identify future directions. We start by reviewing articles that were published on this topic …
