Standards and Guidelines


On this page i provide access to a number of Standards and Guidelines that pertain either specifically to the HCI community, or in a more broader sense to HCI-related topics. Additional information on HCI standards can be found from many of the key standards organizations such as ANSI, IEC, ISO and the IEEE. For those interested in obtaining hard copies of specific government and industry standards, the Document Centre is a good place to visit.

There are five major sections within the Standards and Guidelines page. Section 1, General, details links that contain fairly generic content about HCI and Usability Engineering. The next section, Web Based, contains items of interest to those developing applications and web pages for the world wide web. The third section, Operating Systems, contains HCI guidelines specific to individual operating systems and environments. Section 4, Gov't and International, provides links to standards organizations within the US government and the international community. Finally, NASA, contains a few links to standards developed by NASA which have application to more "earthly based" development projects.
