A Computational Framework for Optimal Adaptive Function Allocation in a Human-Autonomy Teaming Scenario by Sooyung Byeon, Joonwon Choi, Inseok Hwang

“…The proposed optimal adaptive function allocation method is composed of three main elements: 1) analyze the teamwork to identify a set of all possible function allocations within a team construction, 2) numerically simulate the teamwork in temporal semantics to explore the interaction of the team with complex environments using the identified function allocations in a trial-and-error manner, and 3) optimize the adaptive function allocation with respect to a given situation such as physical conditions, available information resources, and human mental workload. …”
