Cedar OWAT

The Cedar Operator Workload Assessment Tool (OWAT) is a task platform for the tablet designed to evaluate operator performance and workload. Cedar OWAT is based on NASA’s MATB-II desktop application which is widely used in human factors and operator workload research. It's a flexible, highly extensible product with applications across a range of domains which have human factor-related considerations.

► Flight test pedigree with limitless applications:

Cedar OWAT can be used across a range of domains in support of human factors studies, and whilst the product was originally developed for the flight test community, the applications are limitless.

► Designed from the ground up for the tablet

Cedar OWAT is based on NASA’s MATB-II desktop application. The principal design goal was to adapt MATB-II for the tablet platform, providing a solution that can be deployed to support human factors studies in non-office environments.

► Flexible configuration

Configuration files for Cedar OWAT can be written in the modern, easy to read and compose JSON format. Cedar OWAT is compatible with the NASA MATB-II XML configuration format making it possible to use the same configuration files for both NASA MATB-II and Cedar OWAT.

► Highly extensible

Task components for Cedar OWAT are adapted from NASA MATB-II existing components including Communications, Systems Monitoring and Resource Management tasks. Additional tasks can be developed to cater for specific needs.
