Dr. Ogden is a Cognitive Psychologist who has
been involved in the study of human computer interaction since 1981. As a human factors
specialist, he has been involved in all aspects of software interface development,
including design, evaluation, prototyping and implementation. As a Project Manager at CRL, Dr. Ogden has successfully applied principles of user
participatory design to the development and implementation of many software interfaces,
including Cibola, a translator
support system incorporating state-of-the-art linguistic tools. He also designed and
developed a suite of tools extensively used by government analysts in ARPA's TIPSTER text
extraction project. He is the author of a GUI builder software package, Tabula Rasa, for
text extraction applications. |

Current Projects:
Currently Dr.Ogden is managing the Oleada project, a networked
integrated multilingual text processing system with flexible tools designed for language
analysis and instruction. Currently this system is being used in government language
schools and universities to increase the quality of foreign language instruction. He
continues to teach the art of user interface design to undergraduate and graduate students
at New Mexico State University. [CS485]
