Improving Function Allocation for Integrated Systems Design

Abstract

This book is a compilation of the 17 papers presented during the November 1994 workshop on Function Allocation at the TNO Human Factors Research Institute, Soesterberg, The Netherlands. The workshop was sponsored by the Research Study Group 14 (RSG 14) of NATO Defense Research Group Panel 8, which in an earlier review of human engineering analysis techniques, had concluded that function allocation was the weakest of the techniques reviewed. The present workshop identified and examined central issues and techniques in function allocation (e.g., two-stage and iterative function allocation processes, reverse engineering, flexible allocation, and adaptive allocation), discussed methods for evaluating function allocation decisions, and described state-of-the-art applications of function allocation techniques.
