Abstract

We introduce a support system concept that offers both work-centered and human-aware support for operators in tactical command and control environments. The support system augments the cognitive capabilities of the operator by offering instant, personalized task and work support. The operator obtains support by entering into a collaborative agreement with support agents. Such an agreement creates opportunities to establish adaptive capabilities and human-aware support features. We describe the concept in and propose an experimental design to evaluate its effectiveness in tactical environments.
