The Human View Handbook for MODAF: Part V – Appendices

The Human View Handbook
Part 5: Appendices
Version history
The current document constitutes Issue 2 of the HV Handbook. It introduces a 5-part
structure and has been extended with an introductory overview section. It includes a
clarified perspective on whether or not HVs should be seen as extensions of existing
Views or as additions. Related to this, the HV meta-model has been updated and
brought explicitly in line with the MODAF meta-model to ensure compatibility of
concepts, dependencies and terminology. This includes a version of the HV metamodel
in Unified Modelling Language (UML) format. An overview of concrete example
applications too date was added to provide additional practical guidance.
Previous Drafts and Issues include:
A first draft version of the HV Handbook was completed as the basis for expert
assessment and discussion in March 2007. It was based on MODAF v 1.0. It included
a first description of the technical HV concepts only.
Issue 1 of the HV Handbook (HFI DTC 2008) has been issued for publication on the
HFI DTC website in July 2008. It was aligned with MODAF v 1.1, and followed a
substantial revision of initial concepts, ready to be the basis for feedback from first
applications. It included in-depth technical descriptions of the revised HVs. An
introductory section was added to provide background on MODAF and HFI, and the
options for better alignment.
A Draft Issue 2 of the HV Handbook has been brought in line with MODAF v 1.2
definitions. It implemented a series of updates to technical HV descriptions and
context information. Substantial new material has been added providing guidance
on processes and methods for how to plan HV use and creation, and how to populate
HVs. A practical example has been added as well as a series of Appendices to
supplement the process guidance.
Further Information
Further background detail on the HV development, related materials, and reasoning
underlying the HVs (prior to Issue 1) can be found in an associated HFI DTC report
(Bruseberg 2008c).
Additional information can also be found in the following papers:
“Human Views for MODAF as a Bridge between Human Factors Integration and
Systems Engineering” (Bruseberg 2008d). It provides an overview and outlines links
to Cognitive Systems Engineering approaches.
“Applying the Human Views for MODAF to the conception of energy-saving work
solutions” (Bruseberg 2008b). It discusses an example application.
“Human Factors Integration for MODAF: Needs and Solution Approaches” (Bruseberg
& Lintern 2007). It discusses the need for HVs, and provides an early concept
overview.
