Measuring and modelling man-computer interaction

Published:01 January 1973Publication History

ABSTRACT

The Dialogue Monitor has been developed as a tool for the measurement of computer service. The objectives of such measurement are defined. A set of models and measures is developed. Operation of the Dialogue Monitor and analysis of the data obtained are briefly discussed.
