ABSTRACT
The world is changing rapidly and military organisations all around the world are compelled to self-reflect and look for transformational ways of doing business. The multinational Limited Objective Experiment, conducted in 2002, explored the Operational Net Assessment (ONA) process, and how different information sharing agreements might influence that process. The ONA represents a model of an adverse system organised under Political, Military, Economic, Social, Information, and Infrastructure (PMESII) disciplines. The multinational System-of-Systems Analysts SOSA teams built the ONA database collaboratively by obtaining, interpreting, and storing information in the database. The Canadian report explores the Human Factors (HF) issues related to team information sharing, including Workspace Design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Distributed Planning, Team Dynamics, Problem Solving, Cultural Issues, as well as Multiple Agent Interaction, and Situation Awareness (SA) and confidence. Related to team dynamics is an emerging Human Factors topic called multiple agent interaction, that is, the interaction between intelligent agents.
