DESCRIPTION:
The book explores both current and potential applications of CSE illustrated by examples.Understanding the complexities and functions of the human/machine interaction is critical to designing safe, highly functional, and efficient technological systems. Automobiles, telephones, computers, manufacturing machines, robots, office equipment, machines large and small; all affect the very essence of our daily lives. They describe a conceptual framework for analysis with concrete theories and methods for joint system modeling that can be applied across the spectrum of single human/machine systems, social/technical systems, and whole organizations. Cognitive Systems Engineering (CSE) seeks to improve this situation by the careful study of human/machine interaction as the meaningful behavior of a unified system.Written by pioneers in the development of CSE, Joint Cognitive Systems: Foundations of Cognitive Systems Engineering
"Provides the Basic Theories" according to John Matlock. There has always been an interface between man and machine. In the earliest cave man days it was learned that fastening a rock to the end of a stick made a club, or if sharpened an axe. But it is only in the 1900's that the man machine interface bega
