Distributed error monitoring

Abstract

The theoretical basis and the practical architecture are presented for a distributed error monitor (DEM) in an intelligent interface, extended as necessary to provide error tolerance in a multioperator environment. DEM will contain several knowledge-based models: a distributed intent model, an organizational model, a local and distributed task model, a consequence model, and a heuristic model of error forms. The architecture will also include two kinds of dynamic conceptual memory. Finally, an intelligent data network (DN) will communicate distributed situation awareness.<>
