http://imaman.oxfordjournals.org/The Effects of Automation on Team Performance and Team CoordinationThis is a North Carolina State University (NCSU), Department of Industrial Engineering PhD dissertation, by Melanie Clay Wright, dated 19 June, 2002. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of automation as applied to different stages of information processing on the performance and coordination of teams in a complex decision making task. A simulated Theatre Defense Task in which teams protect a home base from enemy attack was used as a test-bed for this evaluation. Four automation conditions were designed that compared different degrees of information acquisition, information analysis, and decision selection automation. The results of the experiment revealed that different forms of automation have different effects on teamwork. Bibliographic and abstract details are available in HTML format. The full text of the document is accessible online in PDF format [1.99 Mb]. This title is part of North Carolina State University's Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) Collection
