ABSTRACT
This research focuses on the research work undertaken by the HFI-DTC using a network theory approach to understand the structural aspects of social tasks and situated cognition. Investigations have been undertaken in military, civilian and emergency services domain. This research has led to developments of ideas on distributed cognition, based on the analysis of networks 'system' awareness and the arrangement of tasks. The research has extended the ideas of distributed situation awareness to consider both compatible and transactive awareness. It is suggested that in distributed systems compatibility in the awareness of system agents is essential for performance. Any exchange of awareness 'elements' is more like a transaction than a 'sharing' of awareness, because agents relate the information to their own personal goals and tasks. The analysis presents frames of activity sequences, rather like a film strip, to show how the networks can reconfigure with every step. The ability of the networks to reconfigure and adapt to changing tempo and situations is a measure of their agility and potential for success.
