Cognitive models and software tools have been widely used for both
research and commercial purposes. Although they have proved very useful,
there are some limitations preventing large-scale modeling and
simulation tasks to be carried out efficiently and effectively. In this
book, we aim to provide readers with a systematic overview of
state-of-the-art cognitive modeling software tools and applications and
an introduction to a new software framework for facilitating large-scale
modeling and simulation of human-performance tasks.
The authors first review cognitive modeling theories and then present an
overview of state-of-the-art software tools for cognitive modeling and
simulation. Finally, the book focuses on the new software framework and
a research prototype called CogTool+, including how to incorporate
behavioral data such as eye-tracking data in modeling and simulation
tasks. Typical applications of CogTool+ in HCI and cyber security are
given to demonstrate its usefulness.
