Abstract
In this paper, a theoretical framework for interface design for complex systems is proposed. The approach, called Ecological Interface Design (EID), is based on the skills, rules, knowledge framework of levels of cognitive control. The fundamental goal of EID is to develop interfaces that provide the appropriate support for all three levels, but that do not force cognitive control to a higher level than the demands of the task require. The framework, consisting of a set of prescriptive design principles, is discussed, and an example of its application is presented.

The Internal Model Principle is extended to weakly nonlinear systems subjected to step disturbances and reference signals and is shown that, in the frequency domain, the purpose of the internal model is to supply closed loop transmission zeros which cancel the unstable poles of the disturbance andreference signals.

Today, as a step towards the control of complex dynamic systems, models are being used ubiquitously, being modelled, for instance, are the air traffic flows around New York, the endocrine balances of the pregnant sheep, and the flows of money among the banking centres.
Discriminative Display Support for Process Operators
87 Citations1981L. P. Goodstein
Current presentation techniques essentially preserve the one measurement — one indication approach from conventional installations and use the relatively modest area on the VDU to display information in ways which reflect both pre-computer practises as well as the influence of digital computer inspired alphanumeric presentations as the basis for the display repertoire which is utilized.

Human error taxonomies have been developed from analysis of industrial incident reports as well as from psychological experiments and it is found that a fairly small number of basic psychological mechanisms will account for most of the action errors observed.
