β¦ Synopsis
A methodology for integrating observational data of specific human errors with theoretical task analysis of the man-machine interface is presented. Error data collected during sessions using_ ~ emi-inter :tive statistics package are superimposed on a Command Language Grammar [a task analysis developed by ]. The match/mismatch between user's goals and the implementation requirements of the computer system at various levels of analysis are described. The mismatch boundaries are discussed, and recommendations are derived for the interface and the methodological approach.

Risk analysis has been employed, amongst other things, both to estimate the probability of future water demand emergencies in reservoir systems (using simulation modelling), and to estimate environmental and public health risks (using empirical data).
