HF 412 - Simulating Humans in Complex Systems

Institution:

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Daytona Beach

Subject:

Description:

3 Credits This course involves understanding the theory and applications for modeling human behavior in the operation of complex systems. The student will learn to program basic problems such as a traffic flow problem, a hospital transportation problem, and a bank teller efficiency problem. Several software architectures will be presented and the student will gain a working knowledge of these. Examples may include Micro Saint Sharp, ACT-R, and MIDAS. The use of human performance modifiers to discrete event simulations such as fatigue and thermal shock will be discussed as they impact task management plans. The goals of the class are to acquaint the student with how human behavior in complex systems can be simulated, studied, and assessed with the goal of applying the results. Prerequisites: HF20X or HF21X. Familiarity with a programming language or macro programming such as Microsoft Access or Excel is encouraged but not required. Prerequisite: HF 201 or HF 210.
