Over the past decade, Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA) has been one of
the popular human factors approaches for complex systems evaluation
and design applications. This is reflected by a diverse range of
applications across safety critical domains. The book brings
together a series of CWA applications and discussions from
world-leading human factors researchers and practitioners. It
begins with an overview of the CWA framework, including its
theoretical underpinnings, the methodological approaches involved
(including practical guidance on each phase), and previous
applications of the framework. The core of the book is a series of
CWA applications, undertaken in a wide range of safety critical
domains for a range of purposes. These serve to demonstrate the
contribution that CWA can make to real-world projects and provide
readers with inspiration for how such analyses can be practically
carried out. Following this, a series of applications in which new
approaches or adaptations have been added to the framework are
presented. These show how practical applications feedback into the
theories/approaches underpinning CWA. The closing chapter then
speculates on future applications of the framework and on a series
of new research directions required in order to enhance its
utility. In emphasising the practical realities of performing CWA,
and the real-world impacts it can provide, the book tackles several
common misconceptions in a constructive and persuasive way. It
provides a welcome demonstration of how CWA can be a powerful ally
in tackling complexity-related problems that afflict systems in all
areas.
