Task Analysis

A Literature review has been conducted and a questionnaire has been developed for use in interviews to establish which types of task analysis are used, what the task analysis output is used for, how the task analysis is undertaken, what tools are used etc. View a summary of the report. This information was used in the development of the HFI DTC's HTA software tool.

Cognitive Task Analysis

A literature review of Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA) methods has been conducted, methods were reviewed in terms of applicability to the CADMID development stages. Interviews have also been carried out to establish which types of CTA are used, how the output is used etc. These revealed that no software CTA tools, or the term CTA are currently in use, in the military domain and it is clear that the three services take differing views on CTA. Because it doesn't appear to be extensively used in the military domain, contacts external to the armed forces were also approached. View a summary of the report

HFI Federate and HF tool Evaluation

The Human Factors Integration (HFI) Federate and HF Administrator Tool were originally developed from HFI DTC research into the use of synthetic environments to support HFI.  The purpose of the HFI Federate and HF Administrator Tool was to support the measurement and collection of human factors performance data of tasks carried out in a synthetic environment.
