Abstract

Task analytic models are extremely useful for human factors and systems engineers. Unfortunately, there is no standard language for describing task models. We present an xml-based task analytic modeling language. The language incorporates features from Operator Function Model and extends them with additional task sequencing options and conditional constraints. This language's use is illustrated via a radio alarm clock example. In addition, parsing, visualization, and development tools are discussed.
