“ 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. ”

Shurtleff, Mark S., Jenkins, Joseph A. and Sams, Michelle R. (1988): Deriving Menu Structures through Modal Block Clustering: A Promising Alternative to Hierarchical Techniques. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 347-351.

“Modal block clustering (MBC) is proposed as an approach more suited to the derivation of menu structures than hierarchical clustering techniques. Problems with the application of hierarchical techniques and pairwise similarity ratings (PWSR) from which the clusters are derived are discussed. MBC defines clusters based on the pattern of common command attributes and provides an objective way to determine the composition and number of menu panels to include in a menu structure. The method also objectively defines command redundancy for the menu panels. The method of MBC was applied to the 97 commands that comprise the CMS operating system resulting in 17 menu categories. The menu categories were used to design a help menu system. The MBC procedure provides a viable methodology for complex systems, such as CMS, which derive increased functionality from numerous command options. System designers can fruitfully and efficiently apply this methodology both to current systems and to proposed systems for which there are no expert users.”

Sams, Michelle R. and Fernandez, Joel H. (1988): A Concept Evaluation of an Electronic Delivery of Maintenance Information. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 1078-1081.

“This study evaluated the concept of using electronically delivered technical procedures to support maintenance operations in lieu of paper feasibility, and human factors issues. The Electronic Maintenance Publication System (EMPS) was tested on the PATRIOT system, an air defense missile system. No significant difference in maintenance time was found between EMPS or paper manuals. Errors committed while performing the tasks were negligible. Human factors issues were considered primarily to evaluate the concept of an electronic delivery and to guide refinement and future development of the system. Based on this study, it was concluded that an electronic delivery of maintenance information (as tested in EMPS) is an effective and feasible alternative to paper publications.”
