Abstract

Computers and computer programs are becoming more complex as time progresses. The digital revolution has also made an entrance into the cockpit of an aircraft. A pilot gets more information than ever before in an ever decreasing amount of time. This could lead to an "information overload", which in essence is a concept of too much information provided in a very short time. An "intelligent cockpit" should solve this problem. In order to achieve an intelligent cockpit the following project goals are set:

• Literature study
• Cognitive and system model
• Artificial Intelligence techniques research
• Demonstrator
• Evaluation, tests and validation

All this combined should form a template or framework for future development and research in the study of situation recognition.
