Guidelines and Criteria for Human-Computer Interface Design of Battlefield Automated Systems

Abstract

The concept of Behavioral Interoperability is propounded and discussed. Interoperability is recognized as an important design goal with respect to various physical/mechanical components of computerized systems. It would be productive to extend the concept to the behavioral domain. A methodology that has proved useful in deriving guidelines for higher order aspects of human-computer interaction is described. The method is based on a comparative analysis of common or universal transactions associated with existing data processing system. An example of the format and content of a preliminary set of guidelines is provided.
