RESEARCH
Context of Research
CERI conducts research in the context of complex socio-technical
systems involving intense cognitive work among teams, such as:
 UAV command & control and data
exploitation
Planning (Military, emergency
response)
Extreme Environments
Medical/hospitals
Emergency management
Homeland Security
Core Competencies
CERI strives to increase competencies in the following (highly
interrelated) areas:
Methods for understanding
complex socio-technical systems
Cognitive Task Analysis
Experimentation in field
or the design/development of Synthetic (Cognitive) Task Environment
Measurement of team performance,
team process, and team cognition (team situation awareness, & team coordination) for
assessment, diagnosis, prediction, etc.
Real-time/task-embedded,
intermittent, and post-processed
Content-free
communications analysis
Empirical understanding of
various factors (task, environment, team, and individual) in complex
socio-technical systems. For instance:
Training intervention
Team composition
Retention interval
Teamwork experience
Remote/distributed command
and control operations
Models of cognitive activity in
socio-technical systems
Dynamical Systems Modeling
of human/team performance
Intelligent agents as:
decision aids, synthetic teammates, system evaluators, supervisors
of complex tasks, and task/workload management
Theoretical development in
complex socio-technical systems
Team cognition
Team situation awareness
Team expertise/high
performing teams
Guidance on applications in
complex socio-technical systems
Declutter UAV displays
