Ecological interface design: progress and challenges

摘要

Ecological interface design(EID)is a theoretical framework for designing human-computer interfaces for complex sociotechnical systems. Its primary aim is to support knowledge workers in adapting to change and novelty. This litera- ture review shows that in situations requiring problem solving. EID improves performance when compared with current design approaches in industry. EID has been applied to industry-scale problems in a broad variety of application domains(e.g., process control, aviation, computer network management, software engineering, medicine, command and control, and information retrieval)and has consistently led to the identification of new information requirements.
