User-Computer Interactions: Some Problems for Human Factors Research

Abstract

This report discusses a variety of research problems that relate to the use of interactive computer systems in military contexts. It begins with a review of several documents that describe planned or anticipated changes in the deployment and use of computers by the Department of Defense in the near-term future. It then discusses several generic military functions that involve the use of computer systems. Research problems are discussed under the general topics of user issues, interface issues, and system issues. Finally several methodological issues relating to human factors research on computer-based systems are considered.
