(EPIC) is an approach to improving team performance that emphasizes identifying potential threats to coordination such as heavy workload, accelerated op tempo, or offnominal states. Our long-term interest is in creating a coordination-aware system to promote better team performance by modeling situational properties and their relationship to crew coordination. Our current investigations focus on (1) how an automated agent could detect coordination breakdowns among teams of human operators; and (2) how to measure team coordination and performance.
