Applying cognitive work analysis to a synthetic aperture radar system

Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics)

Cole, Kerstan S.; Adams, Susan S.; McNamara, Laura A.; Ganter, John H.

The purpose of the current study was to analyze the work of imagery analysts associated with Sagebrush, a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging system, using an adapted version of cognitive work analysis (CWA). This was achieved by conducting a work domain analysis (WDA) for the system under consideration. Another purpose of this study was to describe how we adapted the WDA framework to include a sequential component and a means to explicitly represent relationships between components. Lastly, we present a simplified work domain representation that we have found effective in communicating the importance of analysts' adaptive strategies to inform the research strategies of computational science researchers who want to develop useful algorithms, but who have little or no familiarity with sensor data analysis work. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
