Abstract
This chapter defines the concept of Human System Engineering and its application to the system engineering process. Including human engineering principals in the system architecting phase of system development ensures the human component is fully considered in the subsequent system design phase. The Human Viewpoint methodology identifies the context of system use, the types of human focused data required, and develops representations to display the data to stakeholders. The methodology is tightly coupled with Human System Integration processes and provides an early assessment of human limitations and constraints.
