Computer assistance with the design and evaluation of work places and work tasks is relatively new. However, a variety of approaches and models have been used by different workers and the work has moved beyond testing feasibility towards providing designers with a practical tool. This paper traces the development of SAMMIE and associated software and examines the lessons that this holds for future developments. The original development which started in 1967 consisted of a man model, a work place modelling system and a way to describe and evaluate work tasks. The restructured SAMMIE system places greater emphasis on usability and the structuring of the software. The decisions involved in the modelling, the facilities included in the model and the implications for data collection, presentation and accessibility are examined in the light of case studies performed and proposed design uses.

Information Database

In general, Computer Aided Learning (CAL) is the term given to software applications in which a computer is used to partially replace the function of a human instructor in the education or training of a learner/student. CAL is not limited to a particular field in education or constraint to a specific subject matter. The primary goal of CAL is to convey pre-defined theory/concepts to student so as to allow him/ her to understand and apply gained knowledge at work place. A CAL application offers the student a structured method of obtaining information as well as using the computer as navigational and information retrieval medium. CAL can therefore be thought of as a front end to a large information database. Early CAL packages offered the user information in the form of pages of text only. As technology evolved, applications started to present information using a wide range of media formats, including high-resolution graphics, narration, and even interactive video (Marshall, 1988). Hence the combination of one or more electronic media is subsequently known as multimedia.

Dimensional Reconstruction

Structurally-oriented biologists examine cells, tissues, organelles and macromolecules in order to gain insight into cellular and molecular physiology by relating structure to function. The understanding of these structures can be greatly enhanced by the use of techniques for the visualization and quantitative analysis of three-dimensional structure. Three projects from current research activities will be presented in order to illustrate both the present capabilities of computer aided techniques as well as their limitations and future possibilities.The first project concerns the three-dimensional reconstruction of the neuritic plaques found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. We have developed a software package “Synu” for investigation of 3D data sets which has been used in conjunction with laser confocal light microscopy to study the structure of the neuritic plaque. Tissue sections of autopsy samples from patients with Alzheimer's disease were double-labeled for tau, a cytoskeletal marker for abnormal neurites, and synaptophysin, a marker of presynaptic terminals.

Simultaneous Visualization

The microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton is necessary for many of the polarized functions of hepatocytes. Among the functions dependent on the MT-based cytoskeleton are polarized secretion of proteins, delivery of endocytosed material to lysosomes, and transcytosis of integral plasma membrane (PM) proteins. Although microtubules have been shown to be crucial to the establishment and maintenance of functional and structural polarization in the hepatocyte, little is known about the architecture of the hepatocyte MT cytoskeleton in vivo, particularly with regard to its relationship to PM domains and membranous organelles. Using an in situ extraction technique that preserves both microtubules and cellular membranes, we have developed a protocol for immunofluorescent co-localization of cytoskeletal elements and integral membrane proteins within 20 µm cryosections of fixed rat liver. Computer-aided 3D reconstruction of multi-spectral confocal microscope images was used to visualize the spatial relationships among the MT cytoskeleton, PM domains and intracellular organelles.
