Human Performance Assessment and Modeling Laboratory (HPAM)
The Human Performance Assessment and Modeling Laboratory (HPAM)
is directed by Dr. Ling Rothrock and is located in 240 Leonhard
Building. The research focuses on the understanding of operator
constraints, abilities, and goals in the context of dynamic task
environments and the design of systems to facilitate effective and
efficient man-machine interactions. Research within HPAM form a
mutually-supporting triad with human-in-the-loop simulations informing
the development of inductive learning models and testing hypotheses
grounded in cognitive science. HPAM equipment includes an array
of workstations. The lab develops and maintains versions of the
Aegis Simulation Platform which is used by multiple government and
academic institutions to conduct studies of human cognition in a
complex and dynamic environment. Research tools include discrete
event simulations,
evolutionary computation methods, and opportunistic reasoning techniques.
