Defense Microcomputing in the 1980s: Problems & Research Priorities

Abstract

This report covers work in the microcomputer systems design area. The technical problems addressed include the evolution of microcomputing, microcomputing logistics, and user psychology. The general methods employed include interactive system design principles identification and examination, substantive area identification, and design, development, demonstration, documentation, and transfer research priority specification. Technical results include the specification of five primary research areas: creative hardware integration, humanistic interactive system designing, interactive interfacing, software production psychology, and unconventional documentation and transfer.
