This paper describes the Distributed Collaboration and Interaction (DCI) environment, which supports interaction among humans and automated software systems. The DCI approach uses intermediate liaison agents associated with each human to provide an interfacing layer between the human and the automation. We have applied a DCI prototype to help human engineers interact with automated control software for the advanced Water Recovery System (WRS) at Johnson Space Center (JSC). This paper describes this application and the DCI design and implementation. 1.
