  • Disability to Super-Ability: Issues Along The Human Enhancement Spectrum

    Creator:
    Oakes, Ian R.
    Abstract:
    Advancements in the field of medical and computer technology promise a new age of human enhancement technology (HET). These technologies may be aptly applied to existing Assistive Technology (AT), which was created to ameliorate disability, moving one up the spectrum of ability. This study aimed to determine how these technologies...

  • Exploring Intuitive Use

    Creator:
    Cairns, Tylee
    Abstract:
    The term "Intuitive use" has become a common phrase to describe interfaces and products, however it is rarely defined. Research regarding intuitive use is in its infancy, beginning primarily in 2003. With the development of new terms in Human Factors and Human-Computer Interaction, it is important for Designers and Users...

  • An analytical methodology to support the identification and remediation of potential human fallibilities in complex human-machine systems

    Creator:
    Thompson, Leslie Braitsch
    Abstract:
    This research proposes a Human Fallibility Identification and Remediation Methodology (HFIRM) that supports the systematic identification and remediation of potential human errors. The objective of this research was to develop and test a prototype framework that supports the practical application of human factors knowledge to the analysis and design of...

  • Medical diagnosis : a functional model and diagnostic aid

    Creator:
    Zolfaghari, Kiumars
    Abstract:
    Improving the quality of the medical system has always been of great importance but has not always made the largest advances. A significant percentage of medical errors are due to wrong, missed, or delayed medical diagnosis. Diagnostic errors are among the most preventable categories of medical errors, but when an...

  • The development and application of asystemic human error identification and remediation methodology

    Creator:
    Lee, Wei-Tau
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes a Systemic Vulnerability Identification and Remediation (SVIR) methodology that identifies human fallibilities and errors in complex technical processes, and recommends remediations for the errors, based on human factors principles and guidelines. The objectives of the research described in the thesis are the development of the methodology and...

  • A preliminary study for task management environment external validation: correlation between continuous, discrete and mixed scenarios

    Creator:
    Vasquez Aguirre, Carlos Andres
    Abstract:
    Concurrent Task Management (CTM) can be defined as the process that human operators of complex systems perform to allocate their attention among multiple, simultaneous tasks. A challenge of CTM research is to create an experimental environment which is complex enough to model a real world multitasking situation. Also, this system...

  • Development and comparison of two alternate display formats for an AgendaManager interface

    Creator:
    Wilson, Robert B. (Robert Brian)
    Abstract:
    Modern commercial air travel is considered by most transportation specialists to be the safest of all forms of transportation. While safe, any loss of life is tragic and the only really acceptable state of commercial air transport safety is that of 'zero-tolerance' where no accident is acceptable. Research has demonstrated...

  • A model-based methodology for the evaluation of computerized group decision making

    Creator:
    McNown Perry, Cindy A.
    Abstract:
    Increased global competition is forcing organizations to increase their use of group decision making today. Computerized group decision support aids (CGDSAs) are being developed to improve the efficiency of these groups and to improve decision quality. Even though the use of CGDSAs has increased, very little research has been done...
