Abstract :
The paper presents a brief overview of the current implementation and evolution of the operator function model (OFM) (C.M. Mitchell, 1987) and OFMspert, its computational implementation. It describes the proposed extension of these models to design operations automation, that is, automation that controls a system in a manner similar to that of a human operator. It then describes two operations automation research projects: AutoPass and Apprentice. AutoPass, now concluded, is presented, together with the empirical evaluation and results. A description of Apprentice, still in progress, concludes the paper
