Zechmeister, K. M. and Evans, R. L. (1987): Incorporating Human Engineering into a SDI Simulation. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 1170-1173.

Human Engineering methods were employed to critique a SDI simulation software package. The areas of human performance measures, subjective responses, number of options to view, commonality of different sections, and user support functions were evaluated. This was for the intent of creating a program that was "user-friendly" and would require a minimal amount of training time. A naive user was provided a checklist and asked to score the input and output interface modules while creating a scenario. Written text followed the checklists which included detailed examples for increasing the efficiency in the designated deficient areas. This let to incorporating changes for a more effective program, reducing cost and time.
