Integrating task and data flow analyses using the pentanalysis technique
Article Abstract:
The pentanalysis technique was described and demonstrated as a method of integrating an anthropocentric requirements method based on task analysis with a computer centric design method using data flow analysis. The technique is advantageous as it provides one means by which a human-computer interaction oriented method can provide input to the requirements specification stage of the software life cycle. It narrows the gap that exists between this stage and data flow diagrams, which are commonly used in the software design stage.

Cognitive task load in a naval ship control centre: From identification to prediction
Article Abstract:
Cognitive task load (CTL) method is applied and validated in a complex domain to address human factors in the design process. The human-centered design method is based on a CTL model and it is evaluated in a complex partially automated task environment in process control, a high-fidelity ship control centre (SCC) simulator in which platform systems are supervised and damage control activities are planned and coordinated.

Automated assistance for human factors analysis in complex systems
Article Abstract:
A tool and a method for scenario-based workload assessment and performance validation in complex socio-technical systems design, such as command and control rooms of military vessels, are presented. A case-study showing the use of the tool for the design of the command and control room of a military vessel is illustrated.
