Abstract
Cyber situation awareness needs to operate at many levels of abstraction. In this chapter, we discuss situation awareness at a very high level—the behavior of desktop computer users. Our goal is to develop an awareness of what desktop users are doing as they work. Such awareness has many potential applications including
