Written by original pioneers of Cognitive Systems Engineering (CSE), Joint Cognition Systems presents the principles and describes the methods that have been developed to solve the practical problems found in complex human-machine systems. The book provides an alternative approach to the analysis and design of human-machine systems that overcomes the limitations of the human information processing paradigm. Because current approaches are, on the whole, unable to solve the problems in our present technological environments, this book will serve as a reference guide to finding solutions that can ensure the safe functioning of sophisticated technological systems.
