Human Factors Design and Evaluation Methods Review
Abstract
This report describes the Human Factors (HF) methods review that was conducted for work packages 1.3.2 - Design methods review, and 1.3.3 – Evaluation methods review and is part of work package 1, ‘Human Factors Integration for C4i Systems’. The overall aim of work packages 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 was to review and evaluate HF methods and techniques suitable for use in the design and evaluation process of future C4 (command, control, communication and computer) systems. Each HF technique is described and reviewed using a set of pre-determined methods evaluation criteria and the output of the review acts as a guide for HF practitioners in the selection and use of appropriate HF techniques.
