Abstract: This report discusses a topic important to the field of comput ational human factors: models of human performance and their use in compute r-based engineering facilities for the design of complex systems. It focuse s on a particular human factors design problem -- the design of cockpit systems for advanced helicopters -- and on a particular aspect of human performance -- vision and related cognitive functions. By focusing in this way, the authors were able to address the selected topics in some depth and develop findings and recommendations that they believe have application to many other aspects of human performance and to other design domains. 14.

The members of the committee responsible for the report were chosen for their special competences and with regard to appropriate balance. This report has been reviewed by a group other than the authors according to procedures approved by a Report Review Committee consisting of members of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the .Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Frank Press is president of the National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of thu National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences- the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Robert M. White is president of the National Academy of Engineering. The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care. research, and education. Dr. Samuel O. Thier is president of the Institute of Medicine. The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy's purposes of further; g knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Frank Press and Dr. Robert White are chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the National Research Council.

When The Design of Everyday Things Ewas published in 1988, cognitive scientist Don Norman provocatively proposed that the fault The DESIGN lies not in ourselves but in design that ignores the needs and psychology of people. Alas, bad design is everywhere, but fortunately, it isn’t di cult to design things that are understandable, usable, and enjoyable. Thoughtfully revised to keep the timeless principles of psychology up to date with ever- changing new technologies, The Design of Everyday Things is a powerful appeal for good design, and a reminder of how—and why—some products satisfy while others only disappoint. of of EVERYDAY EVERYDAY THINGS “Design may be our top competitive edge. This book is a joy—fun and of the utmost importance.” EVERYDAY THINGS —TOM PETERS, author of In Search of Excellence “This book changed the fi eld of design. As the pace of technological change accelerates, the THINGS principles in this book are increasingly important. The new examples and ideas about design and product development make it essential reading.” —PATRICK WHITNEY, Dean, Institute of Design, and Steelcase/Robert C.

  • FAA REGULATION and the BANISHMENT of COMMERCIAL DRONES Robert Glenn Olsen†
    OLSEN_INITIALFORMAT_10-11-17 (DO NOT DELETE) 12/1/2017 10:28 AM PAPERWEIGHTS: FAA REGULATION AND THE BANISHMENT OF COMMERCIAL DRONES Robert Glenn Olsen† On Sunday, December 1, 2013, Charlie Rose and 60 Minutes revealed Amazon’s ambitious vision of the future: drones. CEO Jeff Bezos described fleets of autonomous drones crossing the skies carrying consumer goods. The goal? Thirty minutes from clicking “buy” in your Amazon shopping cart to finding the item on your front porch. Bezos’s vision was only outdone by his timeline for implementation, four to five years.1 As ambitious as the plan was, it was not mere fantasy. A year before, Congress had addressed the idea of drones in the national airspace.2 The 2012 FAA Modernization and Reform Act addressed three classes of drones: (1) public drones; (2) recreational drones; and (3) civil drones.3 First, Congress ordered the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to work with government agencies to provide for the use of public drones.4 Second, Congress removed recreational drones from the FAA’s purview.5 Third, Congress directed the FAA to regulate and “integrate” civil drones into the national airspace by September 30, 2015.6 Given that Congress explicitly dealt with recreational civil drones,7 the general order to regulate civil drones applies to commercial drones, laying the foundation for Bezos’ optimism.

  • The Reluctant Stowaway”
    10 Episode 1: “The Reluctant Stowaway” Written by ShimonCUSHMAN Wincelberg (as S.Bar-David) (Script polishing by Anthony Wilson) Directed by Anton M. Leader (as Tony Leader) Produced by Buck Houghton (uncredited), with Jerry Briskin; Executive Producer: Irwin Allen Plot outline from Lost in Space show files (Irwin Allen Papers Collection): In 1997, from the now desperately overcrowded Earth, the Robinson family and their pilot set off in the Jupiter 2 spaceship, as pioneers to colonize a distant planet circling Alpha Centauri. At blast-off, Smith, agent of an enemy power, who has programmed the Jupiter 2’s Robot to destroy the ship, is trapped aboard. The Robot is de-activated before completely carrying out his orders, but the ship is damaged and now far off-course, lost in another galaxy. Robinson is outside trying to mend the damaged scanner when his tether breaks, leaving him floating helplessly in space. MARC 249 (Episode numbering and the order in which they are presented in this book are by air date. For Seasons One and Two it is also the order in which the episodes were produced. Lost in Space was unique in that it is one of the few filmed primetime series which – until the third season – aired its episodes in the order they were produced. This was done because each episode during the first two seasons was linked to the one which followed by means of the cliffhanger, and each cliffhanger had to be factored in to the overall running time of the episode.) From the Script: (Rev. Shooting Final draft teleplay, July 22, 1965 draft) – Smith: “Aeolis 14 Umbra, come in please.
