A Concept for Utilizing Human Figure Models in Team Modeling

This paper addresses conceptually how and why it would be beneficial to link human process models to human figure models. Furthermore, we discuss how the composite of these two types of models could be useful in evaluating team aspects such as cognitive decisions, collaboration and workload. We discuss how the composite model promotes visualization of human factors design concepts. For example, capturing timing and error information from a human figure model would greatly enhance the validity of the composite model. Likewise, using human process models to represent the aspects of the process that do not require a human figure model allows larger, more complex processes to be modeled.
