A Reliable Computer/Human Interaction Environment

Objective

The objective of ARCHIE is to develop workstation technology for use in the broad field of control. The ARCHIE project aims to provide three functions to make a workstation environment more suitable for high-workload, time-critical, safety-critical operations:

- detection of operator errors and their circumvention by software means
- use of multiple channels and multiple media to avoid over-dependence on any particular interface medium
- large-scale use of operator performance monitoring to detect overloads or inattention.

OMI results will be used in two major interrelated user interface demonstrators, for which a common methodology will be employed. This will involve the integration of the GRADIENT (857) project's methodology for error detection, circumvention and rejection with the advances in multi-channel interaction and operator monitoring currently being developed in the UK SERC-funded ECHO project.

As a new concept in human-computer interaction, ARCHIE can be demonstrated in a variety of applications representative of major real-time installations. It opens an expanding market for fast-response, high processing-power application of microprocessor chips and support environments. The demonstrators are selected to use complex software-intensive safety-critical environments to test the scope of OMI's software support tools. Both demonstrators will be in safety-critical environments, which are demanding of human cognitive capacities, and for which multi-channel human-computer interaction and real-time monitoring of operator actions will be essential. One demonstrator will be in the fixed safety-critical environment of air traffic control; the other will be a mobile application adapting virtual cockpit techniques from the military sphere for the civil aviation flight-deck.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
