Man-machine interactions : operator.
Abstract
More people than ever before are using computers. Some use only
the home computer while others use large mainframes or both. All
computers have an interface with which the person must interact
to operate the system correctly. This interface must be designed
so that the operator can use the system without wasting time and
money. This thesis describes some of the issues which should be
considered when designing a man-machine interface, and defines
I some types of operators and their environments. The issues and their resolution are illustrated by a case study
which describes the man-machine interface of an actual United
States Navy system in use today.
