Operation sequence diagrams

Background and applications

Operation sequence diagrams (OSD) are used to graphically describe the activity and interaction between teams of agents within a network. According to Kirwan and Ainsworth (1992), the original purpose of OSD analysis was to represent complex, multi-person tasks. The output of an OSD graphically depicts the task process, including the tasks performed and the interaction between operators over time, using standardised symbols. There are various forms of OSDs, ranging from a simple flow diagram representing task order, to more complex OSD, which account for team interaction and communication. OSDs have been applied in a number of domains, including the fire service (Baber et al., 2004), naval warfare (Stewart et al., 2004), aviation (Stewart et al., 2004), energy distribution (Salmon et al., 2004b; 2004c), air traffic control (Walker et al., 2005) and rail (Walker et al., 2006b) domains.
