• Abstract: This paper presents an integrated approach to modeling human competencies by combining the theoretical foundations of cognitive architectures with principles from Human Factors Ergonomics (HFE). Through a comparative analysis of established cognitive models-SOAR, ACT-R, LIDA, and COCOM-we synthesize a tailored architecture designed to address the complexities of human-machine interaction (HMI) in dynamic environments. By contextualizing this model within ergonomic frameworks, we elucidate the mechanisms underlying decision-making, skill acquisition, and adaptive behavior, bridging the gap between cognitive theory and applied system design. Our framework is empirically grounded in industrial robotics applications, where operator expertise, normative knowledge, and real-time feedback loops are critical. The proposed architecture not only enhances the cognitive alignment of HMI systems but also provides a scalable methodology for designing intelligent, human-centered interfaces in high-stakes environments. This work advances both the theoretical understanding of human competencies and the practical implementation of adaptive, ergonomically optimized systems.

  Simulations require computational models of intelligence that generate realistic and credible behavior for the participating synthetic characters. Sigma is a cognitive architecture and system that strives to combine what has been learned from four decades of independent work on symbolic cognitive architectures, probabilistic graphical models, and more recently neural models, under its graphical architecture hypothesis. In this paper, we will introduce Sigma along with its diverse capabilities and then use three distinct proof-of-concept Sigma models to highlight combinations of these capabilities.
