realistic (synthetic) human-in-the-loop experiment. We discuss the experimental system, the experimental design and protocol and the experimental results. In a controlled experiment using 14 subjects with relevant military experience we found that the Bayes ’ net decision aid system was preferred

in these accounts. And why other people would demand or believe such retrospective reconstructions is another question to be addressed by this line of reasoning. Situated action models have a slightly behavioristic undercurrent in that it is the subject's reaction to the environment (the ``situation

Abstract We provide an overview and some recent results on real-time communication and control over Gaussian channels. In particular, the problem of remote stabilization of linear systems driven by Gaussian noise over Gaussian relay channels is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions for mean-square stabilization are presented, which reveal signal-to-noise ratio requirements for stabilization which are tight in certain class of settings. Optimal linear policies are constructed, global optimality and sub-optimality of such policies are investigated in a variety of settings. We also consider the design of low-delay sensing and transmit schemes for real-time communication. 1.1

To address this problem, one task of this dis-sertation is to identify the basic components of sensornet messaging and to study the re-lated algorithmic
