TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - A method for the formal verification of human-interactive systems JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Bolton, Matthew L. A1 - Bass, Ellen J. SP - 764 EP - 768 VL - 52 IS - 12 N2 - Predicting failures in complex, human-interactive systems is difficult as they may occur under rare operational conditions and may be influenced by many factors including the system mission, the human operator's behavior, device automation, human-device interfaces, and the operational environment. This paper presents a method that integrates task analytic models of human behavior with formal models and model checking in order to formally verify properties of human-interactive systems. This method is illustrated with a case study: the programming of a patient controlled analgesia pump. Two specifications, one of which produces a counterexample, illustrate the analysis and visualization capabilities of the method.
