  3. Administrative • Lunch tomorrow • Collection of presentations

  4. Workshop Goals • The purpose of the workshop is to share project progress and to generate ideas for future development.   • This is NOT a user’s meeting; but rather, it is an opportunity to discuss the current status and future plans for the IMPRINT Tool and supporting research.

  5. Tool Development Challenges • Evolving analysis demands • Support System of Systems Analyses • Support analysis of joint operations • Represent human behavior in network simulation • Consider alternative maintenance concepts (e.g. increased crew maintenance) • Decrease barriers to usage • Bi-modal set of users • User interface too broad and deep with addition of new features • Encourage valid analyses • Information assurance constraints (i.e. security) • Maintain platform compatibility • Package more human factors R&D results

  7. IMPRINT:Evolution & IMPRINT: History Concept Paper ~Air Force~ Navy HARDMAN (Hardware vs. Manpower) MPT data provided - Paper & pencil - Automated process - Mini-computer - Army HARDMAN II 1970’s 1980’s 1990’s 2000+ MPT link to performance - Personal computer - Army HARDMAN III IMPRINT & WinCrew Integrated analysis environment - Windows - Goal Oriented Behaviors & HLA Compliance IMPRINT 6 System of Systems 32 bit, C++ IMPRINT 7 Tri-Service C#, .NET environment IMPRINT Pro

  8. IMPRINT Development, FY 05 • All modules • Hierarchical menus “Ver 7” • VACP and Maintenance modules (no Goal or Advanced modules) • Crew Chief maintenance • Hierarchical (but fewer) menus • User with little programming expertise • No capability to link to external simulations “Standard” • DoD emphasis (thru AFRL CART and Navy SEAPRINT) • Merged VACP, Goal and Advanced workload and network modules • Crew Chief maintenance & animation • New Graphical User Interface • .NET Framework • Sophisticated users – links to other sims “Pro”

  9. IMPRINT Development • IMPRINT 5.13a - pre Oct 02 • VACP, Performance Moderators, Maintenance • WinCrew advanced workload modeling • VGA GUI, 16 bit, Borland C++, Crystal Reports v5 • IMPRINT 6.40c - released Oct 02 • goal oriented behavior & HLA compatibility from CART • VACP, Performance Moderators, Maintenance • VGA GUI, 16 bit, Borland C++, Crystal Reports v5

  10. IMPRINT Development • IMPRINT 7.12w – released Feb 04 • Upgraded assumed resolution from VGA to SVGA • 32 bit, Microsoft C++, Crystal Reports v7 • Added hierarchical navigation tree to GUI • Updated personnel projection database (fr.1996 to 2002) • Interface to add customized stressors • Dynamic stressors through calls to external modules • Enhanced maintenance model (flexibility LSA imports) • Dynamically subscribe and unsubscribe entities to server • Ability to synch to real time simulations • Review input parameters and GUI (e.g. distributions) • Review output, reports, and analysis aids • New training materials (tutorial) and workshop structure • Webpage updated with more applications references and training material

  11. IMPRINT: Development • Enhanced IMPRINT maintenance modeling • Improved the fidelity of modeling direct support maintenance • Increased capacity to model maintenance of complex systems (more components, systems, tasks) and more of those systems with longer scenarios • integrated transition between operator and maintainer analyses such that maintainability variables will directly impact operational system effectiveness. • Developed concepts and prototypes for IMPRINT ver. 8 (two products, Standard and Pro) • Investigated the validity and robustness of dynamic human task scheduling constructs such as the WinCrew strategies, information processing/process control theory (IP/PCT), and goal oriented behavior modeling. • Mapped IMPRINT taxons to skills and abilities in SkillsNET objects (thru Navy’s SEAPRINT program)

  12. Tool Development,FY 04 • Develop specifications and beta versions for IMPRINT Standard and Pro • Links with other tools and simulations • Automate links between IMPRINT and UML development applications. • Develop links and file format compatibility between IMPRINT and Army Evaluation Center (AEC) maintenance analysis tools such as COMPASS and SESAME. Test case = Sentinel forward area air surveillance system

  13. Tool Development,FY 04 • Links with other tools and simulations • Update the Command, Control, and Communications Human Performance Model (C3HPM) for inclusion in MATREX V0.5 • Support development of the core MATREX Network Centric Warfare Simulation Environment (NSE) and FY05 MATREX Network Fires Thread. • Develop architectural specification for a system of systems level network of integrated IMPRINT models to simulate a combined arms mission.

  14. IMPRINT Development,FY 04 • Develop IMPRINT models to represent Military Intelligence operators in Battle Lab Simulations at the Ft. Huachuca Battle Command Battle Lab. • Develop an interactive, constructive model of system capability as a function of Global Command and Control System (GCCS) operator effectiveness. (with SPAWAR) • Extend output report and analysis aid enhancements to IMPRINT Pro

  15. IMPRINT Development, FY 04 Codify literature on vibration and thermal environment stress effects • Enter into Matrix developed by UCF under the OPUS MURI • Conduct meta analysis to inform development of new stressor performance moderators in IMPRINT. • Extend to vigilance, training, time, team in FY05

  16. static dynamic Updating IMPRINT Stressors Options for Incorporating Changes to Performance Shaping Functions • A. Change default algorithm in IMPRINT source code • Requires new release • B. Input new algorithm using “custom stressor” feature • No change to source code • User defined models only • C. Use IMPRINT variables, beginning and ending effects • No change to source code • User defined models only • Greater user skill required • D. External Model Calls to more complex models • User defined models only • Greater user skill required

  17. IMPRINT Development, FY 05 • Improve training performance moderators through collaboration with AFRL, Mesa • base on a richer empirical database • beyond frequency and recency of practice to content and media type • Link to existing fatigue model such as SAFTE to consider: • circadian rhythms • cumulative effects • interaction between physical and mental fatigue • Establish a link from IWARS to IMPRINT • Validation studies • Usability studies • Links to perceptual and biomechanical models • Update dynamic workload management strategies • Optimize cost and mission readiness based on non-mission capable supply NMCS and non-mission capablemaintenanceNMCM variables. (with AEC) • Add visualization tool to IMPRINT maintenance model

  18. Demonstrations

  19. Miscellaneous • UML project – to investigate the potential for interchanging information between ARL’s IMPRINT tool and UML 2.0 • Outcome – • Detailed report (Steve Carson) • Primary challenge is community and culture change

  20. Miscellaneous, Continued • IUSS / IWARS – Implementation as micromodels • CASHE – Primary benefit is on-line documentaton • Database – MySQL to MSDE • Issues with security and distribution of engien • Challenges for upgrade path • Documentation – Three volumes • Web Site
