Abstract

Abstract As humans play a significant role in maintaining, supporting, and operating systems, it is important to include humans in digital engineering models to ensure that the sociotechnical system is capable of meeting stakeholder requirements. The current research proposes a taxonomy of metrics and taxonomic nomenclature useful for representing humans in systems engineering and integration. This taxonomy is intended to provide a structure for considering metrics in frameworks such as the Objectives and Metrics portion of the human view architecture, as well as in trade studies which may be represented in MBSE models. The proposed taxonomy categorizes human‐centered metrics into four categories, including those affecting system performance, system readiness, interface fitness, and occupational health and safety. It is further recognized that many of these metrics can be affected by the mental or physical state of the human, which are commonly captured in human factors metrics, such as workload or situation awareness. It is proposed that this taxonomy can guide the selection of human‐centered metrics which affect the system's ability to meet system stakeholder requirements.

数字工程中人类表征的度量分类

由于人类在维护、支持和操作系统中扮演着重要的角色，因此将人类纳入数字工程模型以确保社会技术系统能够满足涉众的需求是非常重要的。目前的研究提出了一种用于在系统工程和集成中表示人类的度量分类法和分类法命名法。该分类法旨在提供一种结构，用于在框架中考虑度量，例如人类视图体系结构的目标和度量部分，以及可能在MBSE模型中表示的贸易研究。提出的分类法将以人为中心的指标分为四类，包括影响系统性能、系统准备、接口适合度以及职业健康和安全的指标。进一步认识到，许多这些度量可能受到人的精神或身体状态的影响，这些通常在人的因素度量中被捕获，例如工作负载或情况感知。提出该分类法可以指导以人为中心的指标的选择，这些指标会影响系统满足系统涉众需求的能力。

期刊介绍： Systems Engineering is a discipline whose responsibility it is to create and operate technologically enabled systems that satisfy stakeholder needs throughout their life cycle. Systems engineers reduce ambiguity by clearly defining stakeholder needs and customer requirements, they focus creativity by developing a system’s architecture and design and they manage the system’s complexity over time. Considerations taken into account by systems engineers include, among others, quality, cost and schedule, risk and opportunity under uncertainty, manufacturing and realization, performance and safety during operations, training and support, as well as disposal and recycling at the end of life. The journal welcomes original submissions in the field of Systems Engineering as defined above, but also encourages contributions that take an even broader perspective including the design and operation of systems-of-systems, the application of Systems Engineering to enterprises and complex socio-technical systems, the identification, selection and development of systems engineers as well as the evolution of systems and systems-of-systems over their entire lifecycle. Systems Engineering integrates all the disciplines and specialty groups into a coordinated team effort forming a structured development process that proceeds from concept to realization to operation. Increasingly important topics in Systems Engineering include the role of executable languages and models of systems, the concurrent use of physical and virtual prototyping, as well as the deployment of agile processes. Systems Engineering considers both the business and the technical needs of all stakeholders with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user needs. Systems Engineering may be applied not only to products and services in the private sector but also to public infrastructures and socio-technical systems whose precise boundaries are often challenging to define.
