INTERACTION IN CRITICAL SYSTEMS: CONQUESTS AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

The need for critical systems is growing fast due to the demand on hardware and software systems for critical tasks that use to be executed exclusively by human beings. These critical systems require reliable interaction with users. Despite this fact, contributions from the interaction design field have progressed slowly. This work summarizes the main contributions from different fields to critical systems; presents some analysis based on a classification that helps to get different views and find out new possible research directions towards improving the quality of interaction with this type of system.
