“ ... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested. ”

Johannesen, Leila J., Cook, Richard I. and Woods, David D. (1994): Cooperative Communications in Dynamic Fault Management. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 225-229.

“The motivation for this research is to further theory on the development of artificial intelligence systems that function as "team players" in dynamic fault management applications. One challenge is effectively supporting the practitioner in understanding the assessments and actions of the intelligent system. The typical expert system approach to explanations is not well suited to the cognitive demands of dynamic fault management. In order to gain insight into effective cooperative interaction in dynamic fault management, we have undertaken a field of study of practitioners in one such domain, anesthesiology. We analyze the findings using the theoretical framework of a common ground and common frame of reference.”

Potter, Scott S., Cook, Richard I., Woods, David D. and McDonald, John S. (1990): The Role of Human Factors Guidelines in Designing Usable Systems: A Case Study of Operating Room Equipment. In: D., Woods, and E., Roth, (eds.) Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 34th Annual Meeting 1990, Santa Monica, USA. pp. 392-395.

“Recently, the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) adopted human engineering guidelines which represent the first formal compilation of general human factors materials for use by medical equipment designers. The applicability of these guidelines was addressed by evaluating a new microprocessor based device based on the AAMI guidelines and again using broader principles and techniques from human-computer interaction (HCI). While the device met the majority of applicable guideline recommendations, the second review identified more substantive human engineering deficiencies not addressed by the AAMI recommendations. Examples included hidden modes of operation, inconsistent signal-action mapping, complex resetting sequences, and violations of expectations. Application of these HCI issues predict confusion in using the device and limitations in diagnosing and correcting problems. Interviews with users of the device confirmed these predictions by finding that participants had major gaps, inconsistencies, and misconceptions in their mental models of the device. This investigation suggests that, in an era of microprocessor based devices, traditional human factors guidelines are only a starting point for a comprehensive approach to equipment design. To be effective as design aids (especially for designers not trained in human factors), human factors guidelines must address and incorporate HCI issues. Additionally, emphasis needs to be on methodologically oriented principles (Gould, 1988; Woods and Eastman, 1989) to aid designers in the process of design.”

“In order to study the impact of automation on complex, high consequence domains, we observed the introduction of a new computer based surgical operating room information system and its effect on cardiac anesthesiologists and their tasks. Recently developed operating room monitoring systems show considerable integration of function compared to older, discrete monitoring ensembles. The new systems differ from their predecessors in the method of display, human interface, and automation of functions previously divided between discrete monitoring elements. The results demonstrate how automation, especially clumsy automation, affects practitioner work patterns and suggests that clumsy automation constrains users in specific and significant ways.”
