Question 5/X - Specification of the Human-Machine Interface to support
the
management of telecommunication networks

Considering

(a) that there are Recommendations in the Z.300-Series which cover the
areas of input syntax, output syntax, dialogue procedures and
methodology for the specification of the man-machine interface both for
teleprinter terminals and for advanced visual display terminals;

(b) that there are Recommendations in the Z.300-Series which already
cover the specification of MML function semantics in the area of
Subscriber Administration, Routing Administration, Traffic Measurement
Administration, Network Management Administration;

(c) that new Human-Machine Interface (HMI) specification techniques are
expected to be developed;

(d) that in the specification of the Human-Machine Interface expertise
not only in the relevant functional areas, but also in HMI techniques is
essential,

1. What new Recommendations and/or modifications to existing
Recommendations should be provided for the Human-Machine Interface to
support the administration of:

- routing,

- tariff and charging,

- traffic,

- system control,

- .........?

2. What new Recommendations and/or modifications to existing
Recommendations should be provided for the Human-Machine Interface to
support the Access Control Administration?

3. What new Recommendations and/or modifications to existing
Recommendations should be provided for the Human-Machine Interface to
support the Network Management Administration?

4. What new Recommendations and/or modifications to existing
Recommendations should be provided for the Human-Machine Interface to
support the maintenance of Telecommunication Networks?

5. What new Recommendations and/or modifications to existing
Recommendations should be provided for the Human-Machine Interface to
support the Installation and Testing Functions?

6. What revisions and/or replacements of relevant Recommendations in the
Z.300-Series are needed?

Note - Close collaboration is required with Study Group IV.
