Systems Engineer for Human Error Modeling for Error Tolerant Systems (HEMET=
S) Small Business Innovative Research project
=20
HEMETS=20
The interaction of humans with computers in environments which are increasi=
ngly information rich and demand fast decision time yields errors when huma=
n capabilities and limitations are not designed into a system. These "human=
 errors" can lead to serious and even deadly consequences, such as friendly=
-fire incidents during combat. If knowledge of the cause of human errors re=
sulting from a particular design were available to the system designers bef=
ore implementing a system, then the design could be modified or an alternat=
ive design chosen to reduce or remove these errors, or at least enable reco=
very from the errors. One method to provide such knowledge is the developme=
nt of software which can both simulate human performance given a system des=
ign and predict the errors likely to occur from this design.=20
=20
In order to develop such a tool, D.N. American is undertaking the developme=
nt of a computational Human Error Modeling tool for Error Tolerant Systems =
(HEMETS). This is an extension of previous work in which we successfully de=
signed the Human Error Modeling Architecture (HEMA) which provides the core=
 component of HEMETS. HEMA built upon ACT-R and, utilizing an analysis of r=
esearch in human errors, established a cognitive architecture for human err=
or modeling - HEMA. HEMETS will utilize HEMA to assess a wide variety of de=
signs.=20
=20
There are a number of challenges to develop a functional HEMETS. Some of th=
ese are:
1.	Extending ACT-R to incorporate the error modeling aspects needed to impl=
ement HEMA.
2.	Developing an easily-used, reusable method to interface HEMETS to system=
 simulations.
3.	Tracking the activities of HEMA to determine the cause(s) of error resul=
ting from a system design.
4.	Developing an automated output which communicates the likely operator er=
rors resulting from a system design and offers recommendations to improving=
 the design. =20
=20
This work is funded under an Office of Naval Research (ONR) Small Business =
Innovative Research (SBIR) grant.=20
=20
Candidate Capabilities
1.	Experience with LISP programming: either a minimum of 1 year on the job =
experience or graduate school experience which used LISP programming, prefe=
rably in modeling some aspect of human cognition or behavior.
2.	B.S. Computer Science with experience, or M.S. /PhD. Computer or Cogniti=
ve Science.
3.	Experience with ACT-R cognitive architecture; experience with other cogn=
itive architectures will be considered.=20
4.	Self-starter, independent worker capable of creative approaches.
5.	Good communication skills, especially technical writing.
6.	Experience in parallel programming is desired but not necessary.
=20
Job Duties:
1.	Work with team to complete detailed design of Human Error Modeling Archi=
tecture (HEMA) and HEMETS components.
2.	Implement HEMA as extensions and additions to ACT-R. =20
3.	Work with team to design human studies to validate HEMETS error predicti=
ons.
4.	Work with consultant and PI to insure HEMA integrates with interface to =
system simulations.
5.	Work with team to design an automated subsystem which both explains erro=
r cause due to a proposed system design and offers recommendations to elimi=
nate or reduce those errors.
6.	Work with team to develop technical papers and presentations for custome=
r (ONR) and cognitive modeling community.
