tove helldin is a member of the Skövde Artificial Intelligence Lab, SAIL, at the University of Skövde, Sweden. Her main research interests are Human-Computer Interaction, Information Visualization and high level Information Fusion.
In this doctoral thesis, Helldin investigates the design and development of semi-automated support systems from an operator-centered perspective. Ways of achieving automation transparency through explaining and visualizing automation meta-information are incorporated into the design of different proof-of- concept prototypes and applied during four case studies carried out within the domains of fighter aircraft, air defense and autonomous driving. The findings pinpoint important automation transparency characteristics that need to be considered during future developments of semi-automated support systems.
