O'Hara, John M., Stubler, William, Brown, William, Wachtel, Jerry and Persensky, J. (1995): Comprehensive Guidance for the Evaluation of Human-Systems Interfaces in Complex Systems. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 1160-1164.

“Advanced human-system interface (HSI) technologies are being developed in the commercial nuclear power industry. These HSIs may have significant implications for plant safety in that they will affect the ways in which the operator interacts with and supervises an increasingly complex system. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) reviews the HSI aspects of nuclear plants to ensure that operator performance and reliability are supported. The NRC is developing guidance to support its review of these advanced designs. The guidance consists of an evaluation methodology and an extensive set of human factors guidelines which are used in one aspect of the evaluation. The paper describes the guidance development of the evaluation methodology and the guidelines. While originally developed for nuclear plant evaluation, the methodology is applicable to other types of complex human-machine systems as well.”

Laughery, Ron and Persensky, J. (1994): Network Modeling of Nuclear Operator Procedures. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 210-214.

“Research and evaluation on human factors issues can be very expensive owing to 1) the high cost of running experiments and 2) high inter-team variability which makes it necessary to run large numbers of subjects to get stable estimates of performance. Increasingly, the engineering disciplines are looking towards computer modeling as a means of predicting performance as a function of engineering design. Human factors engineering has that goal as well. This paper presents the results of a validation study that evaluated a human performance modeling technology termed task network modeling. Task network models were built of a crew executing two emergency procedures and one normal procedure. For each of these three procedures, one model was built reflecting the use of paper procedures and one reflecting the use of computerized procedures. Model predictions were then compared to data on actual crews performing under identical conditions. In general, the model predictions were representative of actual performance, although a number of issues arose that should be addressed prior to using these models as a technical basis for regulatory action.”
