Abstract

What are generic processes by which theories of cognitive and social sciences provide interaction design input for complex safety-critical systems? In this article, we identify the need for intervening cognitive structures in the form of conceptual-based abstract frameworks that translate the insights from human studies to the design of human technology interaction in safety-critical systems. Using examples of two human systems design frameworks, cognitive work analysis and core task analysis, the aim will be to draw generic implications for these intervening conceptual-based translational structures linking cognitive and social sciences to complex safety-critical interaction design.
