Socio-Technical Decision Support in Air Navigation Systems: Emerging Research and Opportunities

Book excerpt: The integration of technology into the aviation system planning has allowed for more stable, yet increasingly complex, models that enable better analysis techniques and new approaches to decision-making. These modern advances ensure higher productivity in addressing various planning problems. Socio-Technical Decision Support in Air Navigation Systems: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a critical scholarly resource that contains a systematic analysis of formalized factors affecting socio-technical systems operators and how these factors influence decision-making process of professional and non-professional activities in air navigation systems. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics, such as dimensional modeling, applications of decision support systems, and semantic analysis, this book is geared towards academicians, future pilots, aviation dispatchers, engineers, managers, and students.
