Abstract
In this chapter, practical guidelines to quantifying the contribution of each complexity factor will be explained. In this regard, Table 7.1 that shows an overall quantification scheme will be helpful.
Phase 1: Extracting the task structure of a procedure
Phase 2: Identifying the required actions with the sequence of actions
Phase 3: Identifying distinctive actions
Phase 4: Identifying necessary information about each distinctive action
Phase 5: Assigning the level of domain knowledge to each distinctive action
Phase 6: Assigning the level of engineering decision to each distinctive action
Phase 7: Constructing four kinds of graphs
Phase 8: Quantifying the contribution of each complexity factor
