HUMAN FACTORS OF FUNCTIONALITY AND INTELLIGENT AVIONICS. IN: HANDBOOK OF AVIATION HUMAN FACTORS

The usability of systems is determined by interface functionality and presentation. Much research in human factors has concentrated primarily on presentation - the surface aspects of the interface, but interface presentation and interaction have greatly improved to the extent that navigating the interface is much easier. This paper deals predominantly with how system functionality should be designed to adapt to users. The paper argues that a system that understands itself and the user is the next revolutionary step in avionics architecture. It covers some human factors problems in avionics functionality and describes a revolutionary avionics architecture that can address these problems.
