`or to spatial disposition in the sector), the radar, the telephone, the displays. The strips,
`the radar display, and listening to radio and telephone communications, appear to represent
`important communicative resources.
`
`5 Methodology
`
`We have analysed how air traffic controllers solve conflicts. A simulated situation of air traffic
`
`control was composed of six conflicts evolving over a period of about 30 minutes. We video-
`taped four teams of two controllers who had to regulate this traffic (the executive controller
`in charge of the traflic regulation of communication with pilots and the planning controller).
`Verbal and non verbal communications were analysed in terms of exchanges. We consider
`as exchanges one or many interventions focusing on the same object. Each intervention
`corresponding to turn talking or non-verbal action,
`is considered here as a basic unit of
`communication. In this analysis, we distinguished four types of interventions corresponding
`to (1) verbal communication between controllers (2) verbal communication between executive
`controller and pilots (3) non-verbal communication related to strip handling (writing, moving
`or pointing to strips) and (4) non-verbal communication related to radar scope (pointing to
`radar scope). Three principles guide the collection of observations concerning the non-verbal
`element of the interaction, those are:
`(1) the nature of the observations selected. (2) their
`description in reference to the activity, and (3) their processing in relation to the action
`under way. Taking into account the extreme richness of non-verbal or para-verbal elements,
`we focused on the behaviour related to the use of available environmental resources in the
`
`control environment, and on the content of verbal communications (for example, the handling
`of strips, pointing to the radar scope). In addition, all these elements are described with a
`set of action verbs (e.g.
`"write", ”give”, "place”, ”point", "take”, ”shif ”, ”move", etc.)
`The characteristics of this list are the observable nature of the selected behaviour (actions
`which can be described using the professional vocabulary) and the coherence of the list vis-
`a—vis the control activity (e.g.
`”shift” the strip out of line on the board has a distinctly
`different meaning to ”move” the strip). Amongst the non-verbal actions taken into account
`are (a) deictics (indicating an object or some specific information such as flight level on the
`strip, possibly asssociated with comments such as ”this one”, ”here”, ”th! ere”, and other
`illustrative gestu res, (b) writing (various annotations on the strip are made by controllers),
`and (c) handling of objects (the strip board is organized by moving the strips on the columns
`or between them).
`
`6 Results
`
`We now intend to develop the points developed above through the analysis of several examples.
`The following abbreviations will be used: (Cp (planning controller), Ce (executive controller).
`Pi (pilot).
`
`6.1 Non-verbal resources as a specific means of communication
`
`Several examples illustrate the specific role of non-verbal resources in communicating: non-
`verbal resources are revealed to be a specific vector of c0mmunication for some types of
`information which are not verbally expressed (e.g. urgency of the situation).

`
`The planning controller receives the strips (several minutes before the aircraft effectively
`enters the sector) which he transmits to the executive controller The gestures associated with
`the transmission of the strip is ”multiform" (passing the strip from hand to hand, placing it
`on the edge of the board, using the strip to point to the radar scope, etc.). The strip can
`also be used for annotations (marking the evolution of the flight, or circling the destination
`airport).

`
`In this example, it would appear that the planning controller transmits Iberia913 strip by
`placing it sideways on the edge of the board in front of the executive controller. The planning
`controller associates a verbal intervention with two non-verbal ones (underlining the strip and

`
`placing it on the board). The results of these actions are first to improve memorization of
`the requested level, second to highlight for his/her colleague, a conflict with another aircraft
`in the same sector at the same level. The act of it placing the strip sideway on the board can
`be interpreted by the executive controller as a mark of non-routine information which has to
`be taken into account quickly (the strip is not placed outside the board which forces him to
`pick it up to visualise the strips which are integrated in the board).
`In this same example, it appears that gestures associated with strip handling can be
`interpreted by co—workers; here the executive controller’s activity is constrained by commu-
`nication with the pilots (not reported here), he keeps the strip in his hand several minutes
`(approximately three minutes) before looking to solve this problem which is the purpose of an
`exchange with the planning controller. A second strip is proposed by the planning controller
`(Other strip), he will have to delay transmission to the executive controller who kept the
`Iberia 913 strip without putting it on the board.
`
`In the following example, non-verbal resources appears to manifest pieces of information
`which are not verbally expressed. First, the executive controller points to the scope it with
`a turning movement which represents a regulation strategy.

`
`6.2 Complementary role in communication regulation
`
`Non-verbal resources are used in giving a context of interpretation for what is verbally ex-
`pressed. In this analysis, our second interest is to examine the role they play in the success
`of communication. The study of multimodal aspects of communication leads us to under-
`line the importance of non-verbal acts to understand communications, as part of the context
`activated to interpret communications. In the following example. the exchange is based on
`the establishment of the referenced flight,
`two aircraft are present in the sector, SWROll
`and SWR012. The executive controller’s hypothesis is that SWR concerned is SWR012, the
`planning controller’s interventions, both indicating the strip and commenting verbally, allow

`Ce—Cp: ”all right,the SWR011 you mean at 280”
`Cp—Ce:"no, no ...011“(Cp points to SWRDII strip)
`
`This example underlines the richness of the multimodal communication which allows de-
`termination of the object which is referred to and to ensure success of communication (the
`refrence SW ” is first based on a misunderstanding between controllers; in the second part,
`reference to SWROll is expressed four times).
`In the following example, two fights are re-
`ferred to, Monarque 598 and Monarque 1789, both are the subject of a conflict solving, What
`is interesting here is that the controllers never say explicitly ”598” or "1789”, but pointing to
`the radar scope allows them to confirm that the planning controller‘s first hypothesis is not
`relevant.

`Ce-Cp: ”the MON is just right.

`
`As shown in the above two examples, several misunderstandings arose in communication
`between controllers. Verbal and non-verbal resources appear complementary to ensure the
`establishment of a mutual cognitive environment. This complementarity is not only used in
`the case of misunderstandings as we will see in the following examples.
`In the next example, the executive controller clarifies the reference by pointing to aircraft
`AFR022 on the radar scope. The planning controller confirms his identification of the aircraft
`in both a verbal and non-verbal way.

`(...)
`
`In a similar way, overbearing the radio frequency allows the planning controller to ini-
`tiate a request based on the reference made to the communication between the executive
`controller and the pilot. This next example shows the way in which controllers use environ-
`mental resources (here overhearing a radio communication) to initiate an exchange. What is
`interesting here is that this is an economical way to communicate (reference made to radio
`communication). This would probably have consequences on mutual understanding in the
`sense that the cognitive effort required to interpret the meaning of the utterance(0p -Ce:
`”which. way are you sending him?”) stays less than if the controller had referred to another
`aircraft in the sector, indeed, in respect to the relevance principle (Sperber, Wilson, 1989),
`the utterance expressed by the planning controller is relevant in the cognitive environment of
`the interlocutor.
`
`To conclude on this point, it would appear that communications between controllers are
`usually composed of both verbal and non-verbal resources in one single exchange. The results
`(obtained through videotaping of four teams) reveal that the exchanges where non-verbal
`resources are used, are the most numerous. Exchanges composed of only verbal interven-
`tions are (percentage): 24.61 (team 1), 25.73 (team 2), 21.55 (team 3) and 28.63 (team 4).
`Exchanges composed of interventions which are either verbal and non-verbal, or only non—
`verbal, are 75.37 (team 1), 74.51 (team 2), 78.42 (team 3), and 71.34 (team 4). This second
`category of exchanges includes three different types of exchange: (a) use of only non-verbal
`communication (between 6 and 16 depending on the team, considering the total number of
`exchanges); (b) use of non—verbal communication supported by strip handling combined with
`use of verbal communication that is here radio-communication with the pilot (between 15 and
`35); (c) use of both verbal and non-verbal communication (between 28 and 51).

`6.3 Verbal and non-verbal resources in dialogue management
`
`This analysis of non-verbal acts leads us to consider, on the one hand, the action with com-
`municative intention (for example, handling the strip and simultaneously asking something
`to notify relevant information), and on the other hand the action considered as a means
`of organizing information for him/herself (these actions can be interpreted by co-workers
`as intention recognition).
`In other words, informative actions and utterances (versus com-
`municative) serve as a basis for inferences that agents make about their mutual cognitive
`environment, but are not necessarily intended to communicate. The co-presence in the same
`working location allows the construction of mutual beliefs in ways which are efficient, in the
`sense that they are not intrusive in comparison with the verbal channel.
`In the following example, the controllers initiate a common diagnosis of the situation, the
`planning controller acts on the strip in writing and moving the strip on the column on the
`flight progress board. Two minutes later, the executive controller‘s first intervention can be
`interpreted by the planning controller as confirmation of his diagnosis concerning a problem
`at level 330 including DAN4446. One minute before the planning controller has given the
`strip for AFR022 which is descending in the opposite direction. In analysing the situation,
`the executive controller shows that he does not find the flight on the radar scope, by tapping
`with his finger on the strip he is referring to, which is followed by the planning controller’s
`engagement in this exchange. Therefore, such a non-verbal act can be seen as an implicit
`request in the sense that the planning controller is supposed to answer only if he is not engaged
`in an activity which is difficult to interrupt.

`
`In the following example, it appears that the executive controller does not explicitly ask
`the planning controller for assistance and does not verbally express the name of the aircraft
`concerned. The planning controller listens to the pilot and is able to point to the flight
`progress strip. After the pilot’s call, the executive controller looks for the DAN4446 strip,
`this strip had been put on the board a few minutes before, further to the analysis made
`previously. This position is no longer in accordance with the current situation. The planning
`controller, hearing the radio-communication, can infer who ”this one” is, and points to the
`associated strip. Thus, the reference is made through radio-communication and confirmed
`by the planning controller twice by pointing and verbal intervention. We note that the
`executive controller never named the aircraft explicitly. Radio-communications between the
`executive controller and pilots, preceded or followed by strip handling can be considered as
`an important part of the controller’s work. Strip handling allows the controller to organize
`and process information related to each flight according to his/ her diagnosis or actions on
`conflicts.

`7 Discussion
`
`The study of cooperation between human agents in such face-to-face situations, emphasizes
`the role of external artifacts in cooperation processes because they allow the cooperative
`agents to organize their own cognitive processes (external artifacts are used as support for
`memory and problem solving) at the same time as updating their mutual cognitive envi-
`ronment through intention recognition processes.
`Intention recognition through non-verbal
`communication can probably be seen as essential for cooperation for several reasons. First,
`non—verbal communication allows agents to communicate elements like urgency, etc. which
`are not explicity verbalized. Second, it appears that a large amount of verbal communications
`are associated to non-verbal ones; in this sense they constitute a context of interpretation of
`what is verbally expressed, which is used to regulate misunderstandings. Third, its non-
`interruptive property appears important(instead of making explicit verbal requests!
`, each
`agent notices non-verbal ac ts by other agents as part of their cognitive activities).
`In the
`perspective of the design of cooperative tools, difliculties arise from developing methodologies
`to anticipate and evaluate the implications of a new environment on the cooperation processes
`between agents. The design of complex working environments is conducted today by using
`the following methodologies; (1) validation, based on empirical approaches, use of prototypes
`and iterative testing (Gaillard and Leroux, 1994), (2) simulation, but methodological tools
`for the anticipation of cognitive activities from actual situations have to be investigated. The
`first step of this is to assess the cooperative nature of the working environment. This is based
`on the analysis of how people use external artifacts not only in order to support their own
`cognition, but also to cooperate on implicit modes. The methodology is based on assessment
`of the capacity of external artifacts to support intention recognition and includes two stages:
`(1) identifying in a working situation, the ! supports used for intention recogn ition and for
`cognition (this analysis highlights how all external artifacts are used in diagnosis, problem
`solving, etc.), in nominal and degraded situations (Bressolle, 1992); (2) anticipate or evaluate
`how these cognitive supports are transferred during the introduction of new technologies in
`relation to the cognitive activities in the domain. In this second stage, in order to anticipate
