The Human Computer Interface (HCI) is one of the most important aspects of any system. It governs how people perceive the environment in which the system is deployed, and can either enable or hinder their ability to interact with that environment. Specifying the appropriate characteristics of the interface is therefore crucial to the correct implementation of the system. The goals of HCI are to develop or improve the safety, utility, effectiveness, efficiency, and usability of systems that include computers. The challenges for HCI are to keep abreast of technology, and to ensure that their designs offer good HCI, as well as harnessing the potential functionality of the new technology. As SysML becomes more prevalent for modeling systems, integrating HCI aspects into these models has the potential for improving HCI, eliminating duplication of tasks, and making systems more useable. This paper will look at SysML and DoDAF/MoDAF (MAF) and how they contribute towards defining the parameters in which the HCI will take place.
