The SIG
CHI and other conferences recognize the importance of addressing the
problems raised by non-classical User Interfaces. For instance, for several
years in a row, CHI conferences have featuring a dedicated track on "Beyond
the Desktop". However, there has been no work reported on user interfaces
for command and control interactive systems. On the other hand conferences
on formal methods or software engineering address the issues raised by the
design of such systems. Unfortunately, these meetings can have limited
interest for user interface designers. Conferences on human factors or
cognitive engineering mainly focus on the human-in-the-loop side of these
systems with very little interest in the interaction per se. Attendees will
discuss challenges of designing UIs for safety critical error-tolerant
systems in which human error analysis and assessment, formal description
techniques, incidents and accidents reporting and analysis must be
systematically addressed to deal seriously with user interfaces for safety
critical systems Issues to be discussed include the following:
- What are the specificities of UIs of safety critical error-tolerant? What research exists?
- What is usability in a safety critical context and how to evaluate it,
- How to analyze and prevent human error through system specification and implementation. Possible classifications of human errors improving their understanding;
- How to guarantee the safety and reliability of the possible interactions in a safety critical context;
- How to design for robust co-operation among the users in technologically mediated work.
