The first principle, called the Proximity Compatibility Principle, specifies that displays relevant to a common task or mental operation should be rendered close together in perceptual space. The second principle, called the Control-Display Compatibility Principle, stipulates that the spatial arrangement and manipulation of controls should be easily distinguishable. We conducted an experiment comparing the ability of subjects to search for effective designs using a separable versus two configural interfaces in a multiple-objective engineering design task. Results suggest that the Proximity Compatibility Principle is an effective indicator of task performance. Moreover, we found that the Control-Display Compatibility Principle can be used as an indicator of performance efficiency.

It is necessary to develop a deeper understanding of the interaction between humans and the automated systems. This experiment investigated the effectiveness of Overview Displays in a refinery control room by using eye-tracking measures. Specifically, control room operators were presented with three Overview Displays that have been adopted by the oil and gas industry under two levels of difficulty for each display. The dependent variables include five eye-movement metrics that previous studies have related to cognitive processing. The results indicated that Overview Display type significantly affected eye-movement behavior. The consistency between eye tracking results and the performance results suggesting the possibility that eye-tracking measures could be used to indicate the performance results. The findings could be used to increase operator assessment effectiveness.

While mobile computing provides enormous opportunity, this domain has been a slow adopter of the technology. The framework combines usability components with industry best practices and aims to provide the industry with a tool that can be used as a measuring stick. More specifically, the framework uses lessons learned from industry to assemble 17 recommended practices (pre and post deployment) and 16 usability factors bound within a general system acceptability theory. Finally, the framework proposes five general management goals of implementing the technology: (a) reduce costs, (b) support processes, (c) simplify logistics, (d) improve data collection, and (e) improve safety. The framework is used to evaluate a refinery site within the U.S., by collecting data from both management and field operators. The evaluated site is an experie...
