Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Cognitive Engineering
  • System Design

Background:

  • Human factors data offers valuable system design guidelines but is often inaccessible.
  • Existing design handbooks and textbooks lack easy assimilation into specific design scenarios.
  • Intelligent, knowledge-based systems (design associates) offer a potential solution for data accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of incorporating human factors design data into intelligent design associates.
  • To address challenges in converting human factors data into a knowledge base.
  • To overcome knowledge representation constraints of intelligent software tools.

Main Methods:

  • Developing a rule-based design associate using a commercially available intelligent software tool.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Converting human factors data into a valid knowledge base.
  • Implementing the associate to assist in visual display technology selection.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated the successful implementation of a design associate.
    • A rule-based system effectively aids in selecting visual display technologies.
    • Addressed key issues in knowledge base conversion and representation.

    Conclusions:

    • Incorporating human factors data into intelligent design associates is feasible.
    • Design associates can enhance the accessibility and application of human factors information.
    • This approach facilitates informed decisions in system design, particularly for visual displays.
