Abstract
It is clear that, as Europe moves into the last decade of the century, its Air Traffic Control system is in need of major updating and re-organizing, if it is not to become the limiting factor in the projected growth in air traffic across the continent (Jackson, 1990). That a major investment in equipment and training will be required is now widely recognized, but there are important technological and systems issues to be resolved. One of the most important relates to the role of humans in ATC and the extent to which certain human roles can, and indeed should, be automated.
