Person Computer Dialogue: A Human Engineering Data Base Supplement.
Brian E. Shaw, Michael E. McCauley · 1985
This report was prepared as a Human Engineering Data Base Supplement to the Integrated Information for Designers (IPID) Engineering Data Compendium. It was specifically written to aid computer system designers. The body of literature on person-computer dialogue has been gathered and organized into an integrated format. Major topic areas include conceptual comparisons of person-computer dialogue, models for evaluation of dialogue systems, unique considerations of specific user groups, and specific user-system dialogue design considerations. These major areas are subdivided into succinct discussions of highly focused design considerations. Each discussion of design considerations includes a general description, statement of applications, constraints, and key references in addition to the graphic/tabular formatted design guidelines. An extensive bibliography of literature on person-computer dialogue is included. Keywords: Dialogue Design Structure; Software Development; Interactive Dialogue; Dialogue Languages; User Performance; Human Factors; Design Guidelines; User System Interface; Data Entry; Models.
