Quotation

Work on ZOG was rekindled in 1975, after Allen Newell and George Robertson observed the PROMIS system at the University of Vermont. PROMIS was a menu system based on rapid-response touch-screen terminals, applied to the task of hospital management [SCHU79]. Struck by the qualitative difference that rapid response brings to menu-selection interfaces, Newell and Robertson began research project sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to study the general characteristics of large, rapid-response, menu- selection systems.   Google-1   Google-2
