• Text Editor...Goal was to use as few buttons on mouse as possible, so that it was easy to learn, while providing short-cuts for experts.
• Space Operations...KLM was used to represent the human operators time with a preliminary interface design. The system simulation was run, and the software architecture was modified to produce the required performance.
