Abstract

This paper describes analyzed working environment issues from statistics, ISO ergonomics standards and ecology of work theories in order to identify the requirements for the information system analysis and design, i.e., abstraction hierarchy with shift of languages, closed bottom up loop work system, etc. These requirements are satisfied by a methodology called ULS (unified language system). As a base platform of Ecological Approach to Human Machine Systems, ULS is a theory with technique for translating business languages (manuals: natural language) into modeling language (systems language) i.e. DFDs (Data Flow Diagrams), ERDs (Entity Relationship Diagrams) and Mini-specs (Miniature specifications) which are ready to be fed to the programming language generation process. Also, this study proposes successful integration of all the business systems related languages, i.e., natural/mathematical/logic languages, systems language and programming language in the form of unified language operating platform. It is concluded that the integration of business languages relying on ecological approach is promising to further enhance the worker oriented management systems theory and practice in the Web-based business world.

UNIFIED LANGUAGE SYSTEM FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS IN WORKPLACES - an INTEGRATED & INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDY -

This paper describes analyzed working environment issues from statistics, ISO ergonomics standards and ecology of work theories in order to identify the requirements for the information system analysis and design, i.e., abstraction hierarchy with shift of languages, closed bottom up loop work system, etc. These requirements are satisfied by a methodology called ULS (unified language system). As a base platform of Ecological Approach to Human Machine Systems, ULS is a theory with technique for translating business languages (manuals: natural language) into modeling language (systems language) i.e. DFDs (Data Flow Diagrams), ERDs (Entity Relationship Diagrams) and Mini-specs (Miniature specifications) which are ready to be fed to the programming language generation process. Also, this study proposes successful integration of all the business systems related languages, i.e., natural/mathematical/logic languages, systems language and programming language in the form of unified language operating platform. It is concluded that the integration of business languages relying on ecological approach is promising to further enhance the worker oriented management systems theory and practice in the Web-based business world.
