Air Traffic Control as a Distributed Cognitive System: a study of external representations

This paper describes an early approach to understanding current air traffic control (ATC) systems. The analysis is based on a distributed cognition analysis of the representations present in air traffic control, and their distribution, manipulation, and propagation through the ATC system. The work is being carried out as part of the Esprit Mefisto project, and has as an eventual aim the exploration of user interface requirements concerned with safety and usability.
