Simulation And The User Interface

From a May 1989 conference in Brighton, England, 18 papers address the utility and problems of simulation techniques in developing human- computer interfaces. Many of the themes also have application to other human-machine work systems. The sections, each with an overview, cover general issues, such as extrapolating from one task to another and operational evaluation; embedded simulations; discrete dialogue computing systems; and continuous dynamic control systems.
