Objective: We perform a critical review of research on mental workload in en route air traffic
control (ATC). We present a model of operator strategic behavior and workload …

BACKGROUND: Researchers in healthcare have begun to investigate interruptions
extensively, given evidence for the adverse effects of work interruptions in other domains …

This paper surveys current work on the design of alarms for anesthesia environments and
notes some of the problems arising from the need to interpret alarms in context. Anesthetists' …

Human-computer interaction (HCI) investigators must consider the sequential nature of
interaction and must often weigh behavioral, cognitive, and social factors when studying and …

Interruptions are frequent in many work domains. Researchers in health care have started to
study interruptions extensively, but their studies usually do not use a theoretically guided …

Advanced manufacturing technology is quickly displacing humans from the factory floor, but
relatively little is known about how much responsibility humans should retain over plant …

We present a technique for team design based on cognitive work analysis (CWA). We first
develop a rationale for this technique by discussing the limitations of conventional …

In this paper we propose a new framework for evaluating designs based on work domain
analysis, the first phase of cognitive work analysis. We develop a rationale for a new …

Three experiments explored the effectiveness of continuous auditory displays, or
sonifications, for conveying information about a simulated anesthetized patient's respiration …

BACKGROUND: We tested melodic auditory alarms recommended in the IEC 60601-1-8
standard for medical electrical equipment for ease of learning and discrimination, and for …
