  You might look up the article "An Architecture for Intelligent Interfaces:
  Outline of an Approach to Supporting Operators of Complex Systems",
  Rouse, Geddes and Curry, Human-Computer Interaction, 1987-88, pp87-
  122, and "Adaptive Aiding for Human/Computer Control", Rouse,
  Human Factors 1988, 30(4), 431-443.  

  Rouses' main interest is in complex systems and aircraft, particularly
  when the user is juggling several concurrent tasks. Interesting that
  you came up with the same term (that is, if you haven't already seen
  the articles :-). 

  Sorry, no more recent articles; haven't been keeping up in this area.
