Workload in Air Traffic Control
1976The field of application of information processing systems in complex man-machine systems is still expanding as a result of ever-increasing automation. In the first stage of automation, physical labour was replaced by machines, leaving the mental aspects of the task to the human operator.

Reducing feedback requirements of workload control
International Journal of Production Research, 2004The workload control concept is known as a robust shop floor control concept. It is especially suited for the dynamic environment of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the make-to-order sector. Before orders are released to the shop floor, they are collected in an ‘order pool’.

Adaptive Control of Mental Workload
2000The practical importance of the concept of human mental workload was established several decades ago in the investigation of such human-machine systems as ground transportation (Brown & Poulton, 1961), air traffic control (Kalsbeek, 1965), and process control (Singleton, Whitfield, & Easterby, 1967).

Control flow behavior of cloud workloads
2014 IEEE International Symposium on Workload Characterization (IISWC), 2014With massive amounts of information on the web, cloud applications are rapidly emerging as one of the main-stream domains in modern computing, yet very little is known about their behavior. To our knowledge, this paper presents the first detailed study of control flow behavior in cloud workloads.

Autonomic workload execution control using throttling
2010 IEEE 26th International Conference on Data Engineering Workshops (ICDEW 2010), 2010Database Management Systems (DBMSs) are often required to simultaneously process multiple diverse workloads while enforcing business policies that govern workload performance. Workload control mechanisms such as admission control, query scheduling, and workload execution control serve to ensure that such policies are enforced and that individual ...

Demand responsive planning: workload control implementation
Assembly Automation, 2013PurposeEvolvable production systems enable fully reconfiguration capabilities on the shop floor through process‐oriented modularity and multi‐agent‐based distributed control. To be able to benefit architectural and operational characteristics of evolvable systems, there is a need of a new planning approach which links shop floor characteristics and ...

Evaluation of workload in air traffic controllers
Ergonomics, 1993This study examined 20 air traffic controllers from the Rome Regional Air Control Centre for three successive work shifts: afternoon (13:00-20:00), morning (07:00-13:00) and night (20:00-07:00). The number of aircraft under control per hour was recorded as index of workload.

Workload reduction through steering wheel control for rotorcraft
CEAS Aeronautical Journal, 2019This paper reports on the development and investigation of a steering wheel control concept for highly augmented rotorcraft with fly-by-wire control. The main idea is to use a steering wheel as primary inceptor instead of the conventional centre stick. The existing yaw pedals are reprogrammed to function similar to the accelerator and brake pedals in a

Parameters and sensitivity in workload control
International Journal of Production Economics, 2006Both practitioners and scientists have recognized the importance of workload control (WLC) for job shop practices. WLC principles have been integrated into a comprehensive concept, which receives a lot of attention in scientific literature in recent years.

Lot sizing in workload control systems
Production Planning & Control, 2002An important basis for workload control (WLC) is the existence of functional relationships between the mean level of work-in-process (WIP) and the values of important goal variables, like average flow time, capacity utilization, etc. These functional relationships are largely influenced by the lot sizes.
