Envisioned practice, enhanced performance: The riddle of future (ATM) systems
Abstract
Future ATM (Air Traffic Management) systems are like envisioned worlds—
large, interconnected systems as yet unbuilt and unfielded. Assessing the real
impact of design changes in such worlds is very difficult. In this paper we
discuss several dimensions of envisioned worlds: plurality, underspecification
and groundedness, and evaluate them for the case of future ATM. Each of the
dimensions presents pitfalls for developers and designers, while at the same
time offering opportunities for clearer access to visions of the future.
