Specification of adaptive aiding systems

Adaptive aiding, a concept that involves tailoring the time and nature of operator aid to variation of tasks, operators, and environments, is examined. Aiding possibilities are discussed from the perspective of application domains and the need to integrate adaptive aiding with other intelligent systems. Particular attention is given to the attributes affecting the specification process. ADAPT, a design tool for assisting designers in conceptualizing and specifying functionality of adaptive aiding systems, is described. Emphasis is placed on a proposed scenario analysis facility design and analysis of the specification process. ADAPT´s shortcomings are briefly discussed
