Directory of Design Support Methods.

摘要

This Directory of Design Support Methods provides an annotated directory of human factors design support tools and techniques that have been developed by the DoD, NASA, and industry members of the technical group. The document contains human factors data bases, handbooks, data guides, texts, journals, military standards, prototype and interface design tools, analytic techniques, and computer simulation software. The Directory describes the methods to be used and their purpose, products, and availability. It serves as a resource in applying human factors for anyone who is designing a system a evaluating the design of one. The format for each Directory entry offers the name of the method, the sponsor, a point of contact, and a full description including general overview, appropriate uses, input requirements, processing procedures, output products, and uses. The format also includes references, alternative approaches, availability, and how to obtain the technique. A strict two page length limit was imposed.
