Horn, Jay A. (1989): Human Factors Management in Systems Acquisition: Perspectives on an Applied Research and Development Success Story. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 1104-1108.

The role played by human factors engineering in the research and development of complex weapons systems is critical to satisfactory operational performance of the system. The role of the human factors engineering manager is no less critical; this individual is not only charged with designing, implementing, and reviewing the human factors engineering effort, but also providing leadership in resolving conflicts building consensus, and championing unpopular positions. This paper chronicles the impact of the human factors engineering program in a moderately-large R&D. The details of the project are analyzed using the an organizational model that focuses on the interactions among the organizational, technical, and political logics prevalent at the time. Using this approach, several Insights regarding the role of the HFE manager are revealed, and some guidelines for managing human factors engineering research and development programs are offered.

Horn, Jay A., Koubek, Richard J. and Cacioppo, Anthony J. (1989): A Theory-Based Methodology for Analyzing Domain Suitability for Expert Systems Technology Applications. In: Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 1989. pp. 799-805.

Recent expert systems successes have motivated an increasing trend to incorporate this technology in numerous, diverse fields. However, techniques to select the most suitable application domains and predict relative success have not kept pace with demand. This paper proposes a theory-driven approach to define the knowledge components of a candidate domain to determine the compatibility of the domain with the support capabilities offered by expert systems technology.
