Abstract
The fundamental purpose of this research was to clarify the decision structure and methodology for the design of high technology, large scale systems with particular emphasis on the proper integration of human, factors and their associated metrics. This effort was initiated after many years of study and development of a methodology (Ostrofsky, 1977a) that successfully integrates the necessary decisions to efficiently utilize resources in order to meet a design need. A morphology of design emerged from which economical applications can readily be achieved while properly integrating the constituent disciplines.
