Abstract
Designing decision support system for domains that do not yet exist is problematic because approaches such as cognitive task and work analysis are difficult to conduct due to the lack of established domains or users. An example of such a revolutionary domain is a Shore Control Centre (SCC) for autonomous ships. This method paper suggests the use of Structured Analysis and Design Technique (SADT) to create a pilot domain for a SCC. SADT was chosen as it provides a robust structured method to model dynamic systems and for this purpose it provides an opportunity to define and analyse the prospected activities executed by a SCC. By applying SADT on the Autoferry, a small autonomous passenger ferry expected to be in operation in the not so distant future, the constituent activities of the SCC can be defined in terms of input, control, mechanisms and output.
