Abstract
Computational models of situation awareness can be of interest for different purposes, varying from the study of human cognition in demanding circumstances to the development of human-like virtual opponents in serious gaming applications. This paper presents a novel model of situation awareness, which extends previous work at a number of points. In particular, the model incorporates qualitative time references, offers the possibility to use Allen [1]’s temporal relations, and features an explicit representation of Endsley [4]’s three phases of situation awareness. The behaviour of the model has been tested within a simulation environment for F-16 pilots, and the resulting behaviour has been found satisfactory using a formal verification tool.
