Abstract

This paper describes the idea of an interface agent that is able to manipulate the visual attention of a human, in order to support naval crew in a tactical picture compilation task. The agent will consist of four submodels, including a model to reason about a subject's attention. In a study (not presented here) a practical case study was formally analysed, and the results were verified using automated checking tools. These results show how a human subject's attention is manipulated by adjusting luminance, based on comparative assessment involving a descriptive and a prescriptive model of the subject's attention.
