Using Delegation as an Architecture for Adaptive Automation

This document describes an approach to using a delegation framework, such as that provided by SIFT’s Playbook, as a structure for coordinating, managing and organizing experiments on Adaptive Automation and “Levels of Automation”—that is, as an Adaptive Automation Architecture (AAA). We use a very simple Overfly play as an example. In our discussion, we show how over 400 different possible human-automation interaction configurations can be obtained, even with just this simple play.
