The alarm problem – The real problem?
Paper in proceeding, 2011

The aim of this paper is to make a review of studies concerning problems with alarm systems and to make a theoretical analysis of these problems. Using research results from dynamic decision making a number of suggestions for further development of alarm systems are presented. Recommendations include providing operators of complex systems feedback that can support mental models and situational awareness. Furthermore a recommendation is to design alarm systems that can learn from experience.
