Both sets ofguidelines are established based on human factors research requirements, andare intended to match those requirements with the level of effort inestablishing a test bed. In particular, researchers are provided guidance inchoosing the minimum required test bed sophistication to achieve the objectivesof a research program. 41p. DOD Contract DOD-DLA900-88-D0393.84
