This Handbook serves as a single source for theories, models, and methods related to cognitive task design. It provides the scientific and theoretical basis required by industrial and academic researchers, as well as the practical and methodological guidance needed by practitioners who face problems of building safe and effective human-technology systems.

Fundamental across a wide range of disciplines, from military systems to consumer goods and process industries, cognitive task design covers the whole life-cycle of work from pre-analysis, specification, design, risk assessment, implementation, training, daily operation, fault finding, maintenance, and upgrading. It applies to people, sophisticated machines, and to human-machine ensembles. This comprehensive volume summarizes the extensive, worldwide experience with cognitive task design since the 1980s; it defines the state of the art and outlines the future of this ever-developing field.

Aimed at the graduate and postgraduate level, the Handbook of Cognitive Task Design is applicable to courses relating to the design of human-technology systems, interaction design, cognitive engineering, and applied industrial engineering.

Industry Reviews

"...for a sampling of the current state of the art in that domain, look no further. This is it."
-Ergonomics in Design

"Everything you always wanted to know about cognitive task analysis or 'cognitive systems engineering' is collected and selected by Erik Hollnagel in Handbook of Cognitive Task Design. The 31 sections of this book are written by leading researchers from all over the world. As a comprehensive source of techniques, models, and methods for cognitive task design, it provides extensive reviews of theory, tools, techniques, and discussion that are indispensable to researcher practioners in this discipline."
-HCI International NEWS

"The chapters in this book are of a very high quality. The topics addressed are at the cutting edge of HCI, ergonomics, and human factors, and this is reflected in chapters that use examples from highly specialized domains, notably aviation and the military."
-American Journal of Psychology
