Abstract :
Presents an evaluation technique named DGOMS (Distributed GOMS) that is an extension of GOMS (Goals, Operators, Methods and Selection rules). Also, the study shows a sample case that is an application of DGOMS to a specific task at the control room of a nuclear power plant. The use of DGOMS enables us: (1) to model not only individual users´ interfaces with technical subsystems but also their communications, collectively; (2) to analyze group performance as well as individual performance in terms of execution time; and (3) to compare mental workloads among multiple users
