Abstract
It has long been recognised that operators’ misidentification of abnormal system states plays a significant role in major system break-downs (see e.g. Cornell, 1968, Rasmussen 1968) and the problem has been subject to much discussion since the Three Mile Island incident. Consequently, there has been a rapid increase in efforts to design computer-controlled man-system interfaces which are effective in supporting operators’ identification of the actual operating state of the system.
