The NATO Research and Technology Organization (RTO) Panel on Human Factors and Medicine (HFM‐155) Human View Workshop was convened to discuss and propose a cross‐national Human View, that is, an architectural view that focuses on the human as part of a system. Progress on the idea of a human view had already been made by several different groups working in different countries. The purpose of the workshop panel was to evaluate these emerging human view concepts, propose a candidate human view construct, and develop an outline of a NATO‐wide Human View Handbook. This paper describes the outcomes of the workshop and presents the content of the draft human view suggested by the panel members. The proposed human view was purposely designed to be independent of any specific architecture framework and adaptable to different implementation processes. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A methodology was established to use the data captured in the NATO Human View to populate a simulation model; this provides a dynamic instantiation of the Human View data. The Improved Performance Research Integration Tool (IMPRINT), provided by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory was used as the simulation environment. By creating the Human View Dynamics, the data captured in the static products can be evaluated through tradeoff analysis and performance criteria. The demonstrated interoperability of the Human View static products and the IMPRINT dynamic modeling capability resulted in a mapping between the two domains. Additionally, the capability of the Integrated Performance Modeling Environment (IPME) used by Canada and the United Kingdom as a simulation environment was reviewed. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Twenty-seven male subjects were separated into one of four experimental groups and performed a series of five tasks using either an all-print JPA or an all-pictorial JPA. The task series was performed under both a speed stress condition and a non-stress condition. Subjects who completed the task series while referencing an all-pictorial JPA worked faster under speed stress (70 sec) than without speed stress (98 sec). Performance of the same task series with an all-print JPA was unaffected by stress. Accuracy of response decreased in both the print-stress and pictorial-stress conditions when compared to their respective non-stress conditions. The only differences between performances with print and pictorial JPAs occurred in the stress conditions. Results were compared to past research and related to the impact on JPA designers.
