Summary

H. Rudy Ramsey is an unusual combination of human factors

psychologist and computer scientist. He holds a Ph.D. in

experimental psychology, and has wide experience in basic and

applied human factors research, and in human factors as applied to

computer system design.

Complementing these human factors capabilities is his extensive

experience in software design and programming. He has designed and

implemented a variety of interactive systems, translator-writing

systems, programming languages, and precompiler systems for

government and commercial customers.

For fifteen years, he has been heavily involved in research and

development of computer-based systems to support individual and

cooperative work.

He now divides his time between consulting and software product

development. He is the owner of

Rams' Island Software,

a software development and consulting firm in Parker, Colorado.

development and computer-aided problem solving. He directed a major

survey and analysis of the literature of human factors in computer

systems. He designed and implemented the Flight Test Oriented

Precompiler System and designed related interactive systems. He

directed a simulation study of the space shuttle flight design

process, consulted on the design of a computer system to assist that

process, and developed the user guide for that system. He provided

consultation on several other interactive systems for government and

private institutions, and assisted in cognitive research on human

planning behavior.
