This paper proposes the concept of integrating human factors measures, including performance, through a task network simulation. Scenario profiling will enable performance fluctuations to be related both to the instantaneous task demand and to the physiological and psychological stressors obtaining at that moment. It will enable users to ‘walk-through’ the timeline of a simulation or an assessment flight, and to mouse-click on a trace for greater detail. Scenario profiling will enable non-specialists easily to appreciate the significance of human factors measures, and their impact on system performance. The paper discuss the early development of the concept and also details some of the techniques, such as Continuous Subjective Assessment of Workload (C-SAW), which are being developed or modified for use in scenario profiling.
