This book was released on 1965 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the basis of information gathered from generators and users of human factors task data by both interviews and questionnaires and by a review of relevant literature, human factors personnel and data were identified, the relations between them described, and recommendations for an automated human factors task data handling system proposed. Human factors personnel were closely divisible into four hierarchically arranged groups: Program Level Managers, Personnel Subsystem Managers, Department Heads, and Nonmanagerial Personnel. In general, and for the populations described, managers or supervisors were the principal users and nonmanagerial personnel the principal generators of human factors data. A framework that permits classification of both formatted and unformatted data was proposed as responsive to the generally felt need by data generators and users for more orderly 'bookkeeping' in the human factors realm. Desirable characteristics of an automated human factors task data handling system were derived from the questionnaire responses. The responses also indicated that: (1) about 80% thought some use could be made of computers in their work, (2) retrieval time was important to at least 80%, (3) current modal data retrieval times range from 1 to 6 days.

This book was released on 1965 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The generation, use, and flow of human factors task data in aerospace system design and development are described. The data are characterized by a process of continual transformation in content and form of presentation occurring throughout the iterative cycles of system development. The networks within which data flow are shown to be extensive in size, pervasive in nature, and complex in their dynamic relationships. These dynamic processes are illustrated in flow diagrams showing the relationships of human factors task data and their input/output elements in functional analysis for planning, specifications, task analysis, human engineering, reliability, maintainability, qualitative and quantitative personnel requirements information, training equipment planning information, and maintenance manuals.

This book was released on 1965 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The characteristics of a computer based data system for handling human factors task information generated in support of advanced system development are described. On the basis of information gathered from users and generators of data at representative Government and contractor installations, the current and potential uses of computers were assessed to determine the desirable characteristics for a computerized human factors task data handling system. The proposed data handling system will assist the human factors specialist and system design engineers in the design and development of systems by providing them with means for: (1) drawing them closer to the data through a user-oriented system, (2) comparing data generated throughout the life-cycle of an advanced system and across systems, (3) analyzing data and conducting man-machine simulations, and (4) insuring that data are made available on a selective query and a timely basis. These objectives are met within the framework of a data system concept referred to as CENTRAL. The functions of CENTRAL are: (1) data storage and retrieval, (2) data processing, (3) computer program maintenance, and (4) system operational manual maintenance. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the paper is to review some of the data problems the analyst must deal with in his work and to suggest some possible remedies. A review of the task analysis procedures is followed by a discussion of the uses of task analysis in system development programs. Problems connected with each were used to generate the goals of a research program, which is directed toward the development of computerized techniques to assist the analyst make better use of available data.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human factors profession is currently attempting to take a more proactive role in the design of man-machine systems than has been character istic of its past. Realizing that human engineering contributions are needed well before the experimental evaluation of prototypes or operational systems, there is a concerted effort to develop tools that predict how humans will interact with proposed designs. This volume provides an over view of one category of such tools: mathematical models of human performance. It represents a collection of invited papers from a 1988 NATO Workshop. The Workshop was conceived and organized by NATO Research Study Group 9 (RSG.9) on "Modelling of Human Operator Behaviour in Weapon Systems". It represented the culmination of over five years of effort, and was attended by 139 persons from Europe, Canada, and the United States. RSG.9 was established in 1982 by Panel 8 of the Defence Research Group to accomplish the following objectives: * Determine the utility and state of the art of human performance modelling. * Encourage international research and the exchange of ideas. * Foster the practical application of modelling research. * Provide a bridge between the models and approaches adopted by engineers and behavioral scientists. * Present the findings in an international symposium.

Download or read book Development and Application of Computer Software Techniques to Human Factors Task Data Handling Problems written by and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research leading to the application and implementation of techniques for computer handling of human factors task data generated in support of aerospace system development programs is discussed. The technique development is based on the assumption that a user-oriented computerized data handling system will help draw human factors specialists closer to needed data. The application of these techniques should reduce the problem of data accessibility and allow more effective use of data in the system design and development process. A computerized data handling system to store, selectively retrieve, and process human factors data in a user-oriented environment was implemented through a Pilot Study Experimental System (PSES). This experimental system provided the primary means for evaluating the research results. This report discusses the development process of the PSES, the computer software used by the PSES, data classification techniques, and vocabulary controls. Consideration is also given to the feasibility of providing (1) analytic and simulation tools in a user-oriented environment, (2) current awareness notification of data entries, and (3) an advanced and sophisticated classification scheme for identifying functional relationships.
Download or read book Human Factors Data Thesaurus written by Robert G. Oller and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes how vocabulary and thesaurus techniques can be applied to a user-oriented computerized data handling system. An analysis is presented of the specialized problems associated with the development of vocabularies and rules for regulating their usage. The content of the report consists of glossaries of action verbs and nouns accompanied by appropriate rules of usage and cross-reference indexes of acceptable terms and their synonyms. All the terms contained in the vocabularies are clearly defined and are mutually exclusive. Care was exercised to avoid selecting terms that had restricted usage, so they would be useful in a wide range of aerospace systems. Consistency in meaning of terms and rules governing their usage will reduce confusion when indexing data and help maintain the users confidence in the data retrieved. The vocabularies and rules for usage should, with modifications, be applicable to any data base containing aerospace human factors data. Only limited additions should be required to the verb glossary to express any human actions associated with aerospace systems. (Author).
