Abstract
Computer-based systems are being used in an increasing number of nuclear materials management and safeguards applications. The goal of the Experimental Computerized Alarm Display System (ECADS) project is to demonstrate and evaluate the effectiveness of a variety of hardware components and software techniques for security console communication and interaction. The focus of these investigations is on the human factors of the man-machine interaction. The ECADS hardware and software facilities will be described. These facilities are available to DOE personnel to assist in the preparation of definitive design and/or procurement specifications for equipment that will be used in security operations centers. NOTE: A color videotape which vividly illustrates the concepts that are presented in this paper was shown at the conference.
