Description
This book is concerned with the use of simulation in optimizing the interaction between people and machines. Whilst focusing on the user interface of systems involving computer technology, the main themes of the book are applicable across human-machine systems in general. The volume reviews the achievements and problems encountered in the use of interface simulation and encourages a critical appraisal of its functions with an eye to the future.
