Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context.

Winsch, Beverly J., Atwood, Nancy K. and Quinkert, Kathleen A. (1994): Using a Distributed Interactive Simulation Environment to Investigate Machine Interface and Training Requirements. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 1033-1037.

In anticipation of changes brought about by increasingly powerful technologies and systems, the Combat Vehicle Command and Control (CVCC) program evaluated the use of an automated command and control (C2) system developed for the Abrams series tank. The system included a prototype C2 device with map display, navigation and digital messaging capabilities, an automated target acquisition system, and digital workstations in a Tactical Operations Center. Results yield a number of recommendations and represent the culmination of a five-year research program which has successfully utilized an iterative approach to investigate training and system design requirements for the prototype CVCC system. Data are discussed within the context of the need for design and training efforts aimed at alleviating the growing information management requirements faced by users of emerging C2 technologies.
