The situation in which an operator is faced with a continuous control task plus one or more discrete information processing tasks is discussed. A modelling approach which has the capability of realistically representing both types of tasks and the resulting interactions is sought. The modelling approach utilizes discrete network models for the cognitive tasks and elements of an open-loop - closed-loop control representation for the continuous task. the approach is demonstrated through its application to a simulated Digital Avionics Information System in which subjects were required to perform retrieval and processing tasks as well as flight control. This model differs from conventional model in that system status sampling is not necessarily continuous or periodic. Rather, the pilot is assumed to read system status displays only as time permits and operate in a so-called open-loop preprogrammed fashion between sampling.
