Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Concerned with the structure and design of computer interfaces, this concentrates on those connecting with the real world rather than those with computer-like peripherals, as the former present particular problems. Inadequacies in interface design are a common cause of system failure.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 221-224) and index.
