Use of Prototyping for Man-Machine Interface Requirements Definition on the AWDS (Automated Weather Distribution System) Program.

Abstract

This paper describes how prototyping was used as an aid in defining man-machine interface requirements for the Automated Weather Distribution System (AWDS). Ways in which man-machine interface prototyping (MMI) can be used on system ac quisition programs in general are also discussed. The study focused on: 1) prototyping three candidate MMI models (command line syntax; prompted entry; menu-driven entry) for graphic processing; and 2) identifying methods by which the amount of displayed graphic information can be maximized without sacrificing clarity of presentation.
