Abstract
At the meeting on Monitoring Behaviour and Supervisory Control held in Berchtesgarten in 1976, someone made the point that we possess a very large body of knowledge about human performance and how to measure it, and yet we are still unable to put it to efficient use in designing man-machine systems. Surely, he said, it should be possible to find a unifying theory which would tie it all together in a useful way.
