SESSION FRAMING QUESTIONS

SESSION 1: THEORY OF MIND [read-ahead materials]

How do humans and automation properly share internal mental states (beliefs, intentions, etc.) with one another?

This question explores the understanding of the applicability of a "theory of mind" between humans and autonomous adaptive/intelligent systems in cyber operations. Properly representing, sharing, and understanding the internal states and decision-making process of humans and automation are likely important for developing trust and teamwork.

SESSION 2: CONTEXT [read-ahead materials]

How to create and maintain a shared context between humans and machine/automation?

The context of a situation is generally more abstract and broader than the features that describe the actual problem/situation. Context normally includes information external to the model that is required to “ground” the model shared by humans and machines in HMT. Defining, sharing and understanding context allows the team-members to assess the applicability of modes and decision making of itself (and others in the team).

SESSION 3: INTERACTIONS [read-ahead materials]

What are the most appropriate modes of interaction between humans and automation/intelligent systems in cyber operations? 

There have been numerous approaches proposed for the integration between HMT including shared displays, VR/AR, voice-interfaces, haptics, etc. This question seeks to explore the modes that are likely to be most appropriate for cyber operations given the characteristics of the domain. It is possible that different modes are most appropriate to different applications, of classes of applications.

SESSION 4: QUANTIFICATION [read-ahead materials]

How do we quantify the performance or effectiveness of human-machine teams? 

This question seeks to better understand the specific metrics or criteria used to evaluate and compare the performance of different HMT. Establishing criteria for performance is very important to better understand how to improve or compare different approaches for HMT. This session will pull together the threads of quantification from the previous discussions.
