Development and Use of Research Methodologies for Complex System/Simulation Experimentation

Human factors research in systems (i.e., human/machine/environment configurations) poses an important methodological challenge. Due to the complexity of the system, the researcher must simultaneously consider a variety of interacting factors that affect several dimensions of both individual and group performance. If these considerations are not made, the results of the research enterprise will provide little in the way of generalizable data to aid in the design of real systems.
