Kincaid, J. Peter, Thomas, Margaret, Strain, Kimberly, Couret, Ivonne and Bryden, Kevin (1990): Controlled English for International Technical Communication. In: D., Woods, and E., Roth, (eds.) Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 34th Annual Meeting 1990, Santa Monica, USA. pp. 815-819.

Kniffin, J. Douglas, Kincaid, J. Peter, Lang, Sheau and Thomas, Margaret (1989): Computer Aids for Authoring Technical Text Written in Controlled English. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 1134-1138.

“This paper describes the development and validation of software to automate the authoring of training materials written in controlled English, such as Simplified English (SE). In SE, writers must adhere to many writing rules. While such materials are easy to read, they are very difficult to write. For example, use of short names for equipment must be consistent; also use of synonyms is not allowed. The software provides feedback regarding adherence to stipulated vocabulary and writing rules. Algorithms contained in the software include sentence parsing routines to verify that words are used according to their defined part of speech.”

Kincaid, J. Peter, Miles, Daniel and Carlson, Lisa R. (1989): Characteristics of an Embedded Training Authoring System: Lessons Learned. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 1284-1288.

“This paper summarizes lessons learned from several projects related to embedded training (ET) and describes functional characteristics of an embedded training authoring system. Both desired and mandatory features of an ET authoring system are discussed for several applications. The relationship between embedded training and paperless technical manuals is also discussed as are engineering constraints imposed by the host system.”

1988

Kincaid, J. Peter, Braby, Richard, Mears, John E. and Babu, A. J. G. (1988): Computer-Based Job Aids which Adapt to Technician's Skill Level. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 1237-1240.

“This paper describes current developments in automating the processes to author technical information (TI) and deliver it using microcomputers. It describes desirable characteristics which support the presentation of TI for technicians varying in skill levels. Addressed are human factors issues relating to information access, user acceptance, and display formats. Programming is being done in Smalltalk/V, an object oriented language, on a Zenith 248 computer, which is compatible with the IBM PC/AT. The project emphasizes low cost authoring and delivery of information which traditionally has been contained in paper technical manuals. Our intent is to support the Department of Defense initiative to shift paper to paperless technical manuals.”

1987

Kincaid, J. Peter, Andrews, Dee H. and Gilson, Richard (1987): A Prototype Taxonomy of Training Device Visual Systems. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 238-242.

“This paper describes and illustrates an aid (currently in prototype form) to communicate to designers and users of training devices what visual system types are currently available and appropriate for different training requirements. The aid is based on a taxonomy of visual imagery which includes a variety of visual scene generations from general purpose microcomputer-based imagery to dedicated state-of-the-art computer systems quality and costs. The aid, and the taxonomy on which it is based, is intended to help designers and the ultimate users to select relevant visual system characteristics, e.g., matching the visual system design to the training requirement. It is also intended to be useful for interdisciplinary discussion among visual engineers, computer scientists, educational specialists, human factors engineers/psychologists and program analysts. There are follow-up plans to refine the taxonomy and further develop and validate the aid.”
