Research Initiation: A Cognitive Engineering Based Approachto the Interface Design of Decision Support Systems for Machine Fault Diagnosis

本研究旨在探讨一种基于认知工程的 结合用户（操作员）认知的方法 特征转化为界面设计的决定 用于先进制造故障排除的支持系统（DSS） 系统. 目的是（1）验证操作员的任务相关性 知识模型是从人的认知理论中推导出来的 知识系统;（2）评估基于理论的可用性 通过集成操作员的 知识模型与先进人机交互技术 （直接操纵）。 将进行三个实验来测试 操作员知识模型的三个方面的假设： 结构、内容和控制策略。 另外的实验 将进行比较的可用性理论为基础的 与DSS常规接口的接口。 该研究将加深对运营商的理解 监督控制行为，并导致一个设计模型， DSS接口。

The research is to investigate a cognitive engineering based approach which incorporates user's (operator's) cognitive characteristics into the interface design of decision support systems (DSS) for troubleshooting advanced manufacturing systems. The objectives are (1) to verify operator's task-related knowledge model which is derived from a cognitive theory of human knowledge systems; (2) to evaluate usability of a theory-based interface of DSS which is designed through integrating operator's knowledge model and advanced human-computer interaction technology (direct manipulation). Three experiments will be conducted to test hypotheses on three aspects of operator's knowledge model: structure, content, and control strategy. An additional experiment will be conducted to compare usability of the theory-based interface to that of a conventional interface of DSS. The research will enhance the understanding of operator's supervisory control behaviors and lead to a design model for the interface of DSS.
