Role Based Operations

  • Conference paper

Abstract

The authors present an innovative approach to teaming humans and synthetic entities that leverages the concept of roles from research conducted in the business sciences. A teaming framework is presented that utilizes mission and team roles to allow for a natural integration of synthetic entities into existing human teams. Additionally, observations from experiments conducted within a testbed environment are described.
