HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERFACE EVALUATION IN INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX SYSTEMS: A REVIEW OF USABLE TECHNIQUES

In industrial complex systems, a human-computer interface can be composed with hundreds of graphic screens and thousand variables. Human tasks are complex; HCI evaluation in this application field is difficult. During many interface developments, evaluation is often neglected by lack of knowledge about the existing techniques. Several techniques exist and may be used. The paper is focused on expert-based and analytical evaluation techniques usable in this field.
