Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requir

HMI Patterns and Templates: The top level patterns in the diagram in Figure 1 above are created when HMI architects and designers analyze
12、 a wide range of applications or task managers and discern a repeated set of small steps or actions. These steps or sub-tasks, when coupled with a normalized workflow, form a pattern. The most important of these, object browsing, is described in Z.372. ATIS-0300232.2012 3 2 Normative References The

This specification is called a pattern and is a key example of an actual task manager created when designers apply dialogue methods and controls to spec

Object browsing is one of a few generic tasks performed by operators of telecommunications networks across a wide range of network and service management
