A number of human factors data sources provide guidelines and recommendations for the system design process. Much of this information is available to the human factors engineer in design handbooks, textbooks, and periodicals. This paper will discuss the feasibility of incorporating human factors design data into intelligent, knowledge based systems referred to as design associates. Results of recent efforts to implement two types of design associates are also discussed.
