Objective: I provide a summary that introduces three significant threads in the development of human performance models (HPMs) — manual control models derived from engineering control theory, network models founded on the definition of human reliability, and models derived from cognitive architectures. Background: HPMs are important because they allow the quantification of human performance capacities and limitations to be included in the analysis and simulation of engineering systems. Method…

Introducing Human Performance Modeling in Digital Nuclear Power Industry
TLDR
It is concluded that: 1) digitalization of NPPs changes operators’ performance through the system, task, environment and human himself, and 2) HPM is classified as human reliability modeling and cognitive modeling, which constrains the introducing of cognitive modeling in digital MCRs.

TLDR
An outline of the approaches used to model people in terms of their decision making, availability for work, task performance and arrival rate inrete-event simulation is provided.
HUMAN STRATEGIES IN THE CONTROL OF TIME CRITICAL UNSTABLE SYSTEMS
TLDR
The results show that as the task becomes more difficult due to increased time delay or shortened pendulum length, the human operator adopts a more discrete-type strategy.

TLDR
This chapter will discuss the challenge of modelling human behavior in a simulation model using a framework of the options available by level of modelling abstraction to consider the many and complex cognitive models of human behavior.
Human Performance Modeling for Dynamic Human Reliability Analysis
TLDR
This paper summarizes the foundational information needed to develop a feasible approach to modeling human interactions in RISMC simulations and reviews simulation based and non simulation based human reliability analysis (HRA) methods.
Survey and assessment of crew performance evaluation methods applicable to human spacecraft design
Space is an unforgiving environment where the actions of the crew play a critical role in their health and safety. Given the limited number of crewmembers typically onboard a spacecraft and the…
Estimating performance of a business process model
TLDR
An extension to Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is suggested by including performance measure of performers and the probability by which an outgoing Sequence Flow from a Gateway is chosen and applied to part of a military Operational Planning Process.
