Abstract :
The design, implementation, and evaluation of ALLY, a computer-based associate for the human supervisor of a simulated satellite ground control system, is described. ALLY´s dynamic intent inferencing abilities and system control properties are described. Experimental evaluation of ALLY compared performance of a two-person team with a person-ALLY team in the control of a simulated satellite ground control system
