A decision-theoretic approach to the display of information for time-critical decisions: The Vista project
HORVITZ, ERIC | RUOKANGAS, CORINNE | SRINIVAS, SAMPATH | BARRY, MATTHEW
The Sixth Annual Workshop on Space Operations Applications and Research (SOAR 1992) p 407-417(SEE N93-32097 12-99); UNITED STATES; 1993

We describe a collaborative research and development effort between the Palo Alto Laboratory of the Rockwell Science Center, Rockwell Space Operations Company, and the Propulsion Systems Section of NASA JSC to design computational tools that can manage the complexity of information displayed to human operators in high-stakes, time-critical decision contexts. We shall review an application from NASA Mission Control and describe how we integrated a probabilistic diagnostic model and a time-dependent utility model, with techniques for managing the complexity of computer displays. Then, we shall describe the behavior of VPROP, a system constructed to demonstrate promising display-management techniques. Finally, we shall describe our current research directions on the Vista 2 follow-on project. (Author (revised))
