The purpose of the paper is to review some of the data problems the analyst must deal with in his work and to suggest some possible remedies. A review of the task analysis procedures is followed by a discussion of the uses of task analysis in system development programs. Problems connected with each were used to generate the goals of a research program, which is directed toward the development of computerized techniques to assist the analyst make better use of available data.

The characteristics of a computer based data system for handling human factors task information generated in support of advanced system development are described. On the basis of information gathered from users and generators of data at representative Government and contractor installations, the current and potential uses of computers were assessed to determine the desirable characteristics for a computerized human factors task data handling system. The proposed data handling system will assist the human factors specialist and system design engineers in the design and development of systems by providing them with means for: (1) drawing them closer to the data through a user-oriented system, (2) comparing data generated throughout the life-cycle of an advanced system and across systems, (3) analyzing data and conducting man-machine simulations, and (4) insuring that data are made available on a selective query and a timely basis. These objectives are met within the framework of a data system concept referred to as CENTRAL. The functions of CENTRAL are: (1) data storage and retrieval, (2) data processing, (3) computer program maintenance, and (4) system operational manual maintenance. (Author).

Research leading to the application and implementation of techniques for computer handling of human factors task data generated in support of aerospace system development programs is discussed. The technique development is based on the assumption that a user-oriented computerized data handling system will help draw human factors specialists closer to needed data. The application of these techniques should reduce the problem of data accessibility and allow more effective use of data in the system design and development process. A computerized data handling system to store, selectively retrieve, and process human factors data in a user-oriented environment was implemented through a Pilot Study Experimental System (PSES). This experimental system provided the primary means for evaluating the research results. This report discusses the development process of the PSES, the computer software used by the PSES, data classification techniques, and vocabulary controls. Consideration is also given to the feasibility of providing (1) analytic and simulation tools in a user-oriented environment, (2) current awareness notification of data entries, and (3) an advanced and sophisticated classification scheme for identifying functional relationships.

The aim of this book is to bring together and try to interrelate some of the concepts and relevant knowledge from the various disciplines concerned with this area of research and application, including especially the human sciences and engineering. The focus throughout is upon the human rather than upon the computer issues in man-computer interaction (MCI). The book is based upon the papers presented at the Advanced Study Institute held at Mati, Attica, Greece 5-13 September 1976, which was sponsored by the NATO Advanced Study Institutes Programme. These papers were not intended to be encyclopaedic or to yield a 'state of the art' volume. But as revised here they do represent the scope and breadth of man-computer interaction. This book will serve its purpose if it helps to structure and stimulate research in the field, applications, and increase the interaction between readers and writers.
