Abstract

Previous research has developed a formal methods-based (cognitive-level) model of the ICS central engine, with which we have simulated attentional capture in the context of Barnard'd key-distractor Attentional Blink task. The same core system would be at work when human operators interact with computer interfaces. Thus, we have used this model to evaluate the performance trade-offs that would arise from varying key parameters in Stimulus Rich Reactive Interfaces (SRRIs). The results of these evaluations are presented in this paper. A strength of formal methods is that they are abstract and thus, the resulting specifications of the operator are general purpose, ensuring that our findings are broadly applicable.
