The proposed "Tracking Resource Allocation Cognitive Strategies" tool (TRACS) allows for post-hoc visualization of the cognitive steps exhibited by a human operator while interacting with a multivariate resource allocation decision-support interface. This tool was applied to both mission planning for multi-criteria resource allocation for military strikes, and also multi-variable geospatial path planning problems for astronaut moon traversals. Both domains involve a human operator interacting with an automated decision-support system in order to find a solution to a complex planning problem involving multivariate and constrained optimization for a cost function. With the help of TRACS, clear patterns of behavior were identified that could be correlated to performance in both applications.
