Welcome to the Interactive Systems Modeling and Simulation Laboratory Web Site at Wright State University. The focus of this research group is on the development and validation of models of human interaction with complex engineering systems. We use a model-based approach to design interactive systems to aid humans in cognitively complex tasks such as planning, control, decision making, information seeking, and troubleshooting. Three broad areas within the interdisciplinary nature of this research group are: interactive simulations, human operator modeling, and human computer integrated reasoning in complex systems. Domains of application include logistic systems, production systems, and information retrieval from heterogeneous multi-media data.

This research laboratory is directed by Dr. S. Narayanan, who is working with teams comprised of other faculty, students, and industry collaborators on a wide range of problems involving interactive systems.
