Joint Cognitive Systems • Unit of analysis is the whole system rather than separate components • Problem driven approach rather than technology driven • Focus on use of tools rather than the tools per se • Cooperation rather than delegation A Joint Cognitive Systems perspective - Consequences for an ASAS Human Factors research agenda

How much does current research cover? Aggregation Application A Joint Cognitive Systems perspective - Consequences for an ASAS Human Factors research agenda

To what extent is ASAS research coordinated? • • • ASAS-TN 2 Dissemination between projects Co-operation and partnerships Informal knowledge-sharing. . . • Is that enough? A Joint Cognitive Systems perspective - Consequences for an ASAS Human Factors research agenda

Consequences for ASAS HF research • Investigate interactions between realistic actors • See what technology is needed to solve problems, not what problems can be found to fit the technology • Focus on the way pilots and controllers use the availability of tools, rather than prescribing fix procedures based on the capability of technology • Perform analysis on a meaningful level of detail with sufficient aggregation • Early user involvement A Joint Cognitive Systems perspective - Consequences for an ASAS Human Factors research agenda
