In complex sociotechnical systems such as military, health care,
and nuclear power systems, poor performance or errors resulting
from inadequate designs can have catastrophic consequences.
Although considered challenging to learn and execute well, work
domain analysis can be used as a framework to assist in the design
of these systems. Work Domain Analysis: Concepts, Guidelines, and
Cases helps you develop a deep understanding of this framework-not
by oversimplifying the principles but by explaining its concepts
and methodology in considerable depth. Building on the foundational
concepts of cognitive work analysis by providing the first
comprehensive treatment of work domain analysis, the book begins
with fundamental topics such as abstraction, decomposition, and
structural means-ends and part-whole relations, clearly outlining
the basic characteristics of a work domain model. It then explores
more advanced topics such as the development of multiple models of
a system and the distinction between causal and intentional systems
and illustrates them with numerous examples across a range of
systems including warships, libraries, and petrochemical plants. It
also provides comprehensive guidelines for performing work domain
analysis. The author provides three detailed case studies that
examine the impact, unique contribution, and feasibility of
applying work domain analysis in industrial settings. These case
studies demonstrate that work domain analysis can be used to
address a range of problems beyond interface design, such as team
design, training, and the evaluation of system design concepts.
They also provide concrete illustrations of the guidelines for work
domain analysis. Without an appreciation of the variety of
applications of work domain analysis, and its suitability for
implementation in industrial settings, the benefits of this
approach may not be fully realized. This book supplies the deep
knowledge of this tool that will lead both to more powerful and
innovative applications of the approach and to designs that support
flexibility or adaptation in the workplace, making systems safer,
healthier, and more productive for workers.
