03.30.09Part 1: Background-A Case Study in Cognitive Systems Engineering Usability EvaluationRecently we were asked by one of our partner companies to provide a Usability Evaluation of one of their new systems. This is Part 1 of a series, to be expanded as the project unfolds. Hopefully it will capture a sense of how 'different' a deeply grounded CSE Evaluation of a system really is. We started off by explaining (during the proposal process) that our Cognitive Systems Engineering background and our experience with designing revolutionary Decision Support Systems really 'warps' our assessments of systems. We see things far beyond 'knobology,' 'look and feel,' and 'style guide' and see deeper underlying issues ...

03.30.09Cognitive Systems Engineering meets DODAF: Building the Right Thing WellWe had an interesting session with a customer the other day. The discussion centered on how Cognitive Systems Engineering 'connects' with the DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF). After some interesting moments of talking past each other, the discussion settled on two main points: In order to be relevant in major DoD systems programs, Cognitive Systems Engineering will have to find a way to integrate itself into the DoDAF mindset, The Applied Cognitive Systems Engineering -ACSE(tm)- methodology (as an instantiation of Cognitive Systems Engineering) delivers revolutionary, high quality designs without the heavy overhead burden of the DoDAF processes. ACSE was expressly developed to 'fill in ...
