Formal grammatical description has not generally been applied in the human factors area, which traditionally draws on behavioral science for its methodology. This paper illustrates, by means of a detailed example, how formal grammatical description can be used as a predictive tool to compare alternative designs for ease of use and to identify design choices which could cause users to make mistakes.
Index Terms:
user-oriented design, Action languages, analytic tools, comparison of design alternatives, ease-of-use measurement, ease-of-use prediction, formal description, human factors, man-machine interface, user errors
