Abstract
When a trainer aims to provide trainees with appropriate help and assistance, she/he needs to know what errors the trainee is making and furthermore what causes lead to these errors. In this paper, we propose a mechanism which infers the underlying causes that lead to the production of the trainee’s erroneous action in order to support the trainer in her/his monitoring activity. This mechanism is based on and uses CREAM, a second-generation method of Human Reliability Analysis (HRA). We implement this mechanism by using Dempster-Shafer’s theory.
