Abstract

Task-dependent information management coordinates tailored displays of information with specific operator tasks, reducing clutter and the need for mental transformations. The challenge for information management in dynamic domains is to control the change in displays to maintain the benefits of tailoring while minimizing the potential limitations. To control change, we maintain display predictability by: 1) preserving topological relationships, 2) utilizing a consistent function-oriented rationale for display changes and 3) implementing the desired frequency and magnitude of display change in the form of an information management policy within information management software. Models of structural relationships using aircraft functions and independent variables associated with information management describe performance consequences of information management in an experimental environment.
