The Need for Better Human Performance Models <xref rid="FN1-1999-01-1895" ref-type="fn">¹</xref>

The increased need for better human performance models results from a realization that comprehensive simulations cannot use human-in-the-loop for all players, as was originally thought. With system designers and decision makers demanding support from large-scale simulation models, the human performance component of computer models has repeatedly been found to be deficient. Each of the five communities involved with human performance modeling communicates with adjacent communities in a pair-wise manner, causing the customer to have little awareness of what is technically possible and the scientific community having little awareness of the needs of the customer.
