Abstract

This paper explores the interaction of humans and autonomous, intelligent agents working together as teammates in cyberspace operations. Though much research has investigated human-machine teams in domains such as robotics, there is a dearth of research into human-agent dynamics in cyberspace operations Some challenges are similar, such as trust between human and agent. Other challenges, such as representation and interface, are unique to cyberspace given that topological, logical, and temporal relationships are first class constructs with different semantic interpretations from their counterpart visual and spatial representations that are prevalent in physical domains. These challenges arise as the software behaves less like a tool and increasingly becomes more like a synthetic teammate.
