Mental workload (MWL) is a major consideration for the user interface design in nuclear power plants (NPPs). However, each MWL evaluation method has its advantages and limitations, thus the evaluation and control methods based on multi-index methods are needed. In this study, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) theory was adopted for assessment of interface designs in NPP based on operators' MWL. An evaluation index system and membership functions were established, and the weights were given using the combination of the variation coefficient and the entropy method. The results showed that multi-index methods such as performance measures (speed of task and error rate), subjective rating (NASA-TLX) and physiological measure (eye response) can be successfully integrated in FCE for user interface design assessment. The FCE method has a correlation coefficient compared with most of the original evaluation indices. Thus, this method might be applied for developing the tool to quickly and accurately assess the different display interfaces when considering the aspect of the operators' MWL.

Throughout the history of computer use, the interface metaphor has been employed to make computers easier for humans to use. Even the earliest command line interfaces used metaphor. Metaphors in user interfaces help to make the software accessible to users and allow the users to communicate with the system as well. User interface guidelines for most of the popular operating systems encourage the use of metaphors in interface design. Thus, metaphor in interface design is employed as central element with a long history. Therefore, this paper will suggest substantiating guidelines which are based on conceptual model and Gestaltprinciples for successful metaphor construction with a better user interface.

The deVelopment of technologies changes the thinking of people and the ways of IMngs. The software developers as well as users are now aware of the importance of graphic user interface design, and the usage of graphic elements is getting rrore and more easier due to the technological improvements based on the windows system(Microsoft). For these reasons, people who engaged in software developments do much more efforts to get user-oentered design solutions, in other words, the usability improvements. And the interdisciplinary projects teams which consist of experts of various fields are increasing in number. But, the lack of understanding on software developments and the proceeding of design work without the consideration of entire process of a project make interface design work difficult. For exampIe, some engineers often think designers as persons who decorate their products in the final stage. In this thesis, through the investigation of user interface design and software development process, the frarnework of effective team projects is proposed. The main purposes of this thesis are to define the work area and position of designers and to propose the interface design process for the cooperative software development projects within the interdiociplinary teams.
