Summary:Abstract: "Usability and human factors are important aspects in determining the success of a large expert system. A perfectly functional system is not necessarily a usable system. Often, end users are neglected in the development and deployment of a system. Lacking end user involvement makes a functional, practical and usable expert system difficult to build. To address this problem, we have developed a six-step usability methodology for the development of large scale expert systems. This paper shows how this methodology helps in the development of a widely deployed, integrated large expert system, ISPBEX (Integrated Southern Pine Beetle Expert System)."
