The Task Analysis Report Generation Tool, TARGET, is a graphical interface
tool used to capture procedural knowledge and translate that knowledge
into a hierarchical report. TARGET is based on VISTA, a knowledge acquisition
tool developed by the Naval Systems Training Center. TARGET assists
a programmer and/or task expert organize and understand the steps involved
in accomplishing a task. The user can label individual steps in the
task through a dialogue-box and get immediate graphical feedback for analysis.
TARGET users can decompose tasks into basic action kernels or minimal
steps to provide a clear picture of all basic actions needed to accomplish a
job. This method allows the user to go back and critically examine the overall
flow and makeup of the process. The user can switch between graphics
(box flow diagrams) and text (task hierarchy) versions to more easily study
the process being documented. As the practice of decomposition continues,
tasks and their subtasks can be continually modified to more accurately reflect
the user's procedures and rationale.
This program is designed to help a programmer document an expert's task
thus allowing the programmer to build an expert system which can help others
perform the task. Flexibility is a key element of the system design and of
the knowledge acquisition session. If the expert is not able to find time to
work on the knowledge acquisition process with the program developer, the
developer and subject matter expert may work in iterative sessions. TARGET
is easy to use and is tailored to accommodate users ranging from the novice
to the experienced expert systems builder.
TARGET carries the NASA case number MSC-22129. It was originally released as part of the NASA COSMIC collection.
