Handbook for Operating the OWLKNEST Technology

Abstract

This handbook offers guidance to users of the operator workload (OWL) knowledge-based expert system tool (OWLKNEST). The handbook is an appropriate foundation for understanding the context within which OWLKNEST can be useful. The handbook describes (a) the concept of workload; (b) problems associated with determining which OWL assessment techniques are most appropriate for any given set of study objectives, system characteristics, and user resource constraints; and (c) the expert system approach to problem solving. The handbook also provides an overview of OWLKNEST and gives detailed instructions and specific examples for operating the tool and interpreting its output. Brief descriptions of each of the 38 OWL assessment techniques included in OWLKNEST and a survey form designed to solicit feedback from OWLKNEST users are in appendixes.
