“ 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. ”

Gutekunst, Kevin R. and Cruise, Richard J. (1987): Human Factors Simulation to Support Software Design. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 1416-1420.

“Computer simulation of the operator/system interface is a useful tool for supporting system software design. Simulation is also a flexible and cost effective method for applying human engineering analysis techniques as required by MIL-H-46855 (Human Engineering Requirements for Military Systems, Equipment and Facilities). This paper describes the integrated methodology used to model the operator/computer interaction for a newly developed military system. The operator/computer interface was potentially complex since the operators were required to control several sensors as well as communicate intelligence information within specified time constraints. In order to focus the design process and optimize the operator/computer interface, a computer simulation using the Micro SAINT software package was performed. This simulation provided a dynamic and integrated approach for performing subsequent design trade offs and developing software interface specifications and requirements.”
