Taylor and Francis Applications of Cognitive Work Analysis

Despite continued interest in Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA) there is no up-to-date book in the area and none which comprehensively documents the use of these methods in real world applications. This is a critical shortcoming as more cognitive engineers and human factors professionals seek to use CWA methods in their own work. This book demonstrates how these often complicated methods can be applied in complex, real-world design contexts, subject to constraints of cost, time, and information. It shows how, when, and where CWA techniques can be integrated into the systems engineering design process and provides concrete evidence for the value that the CWA approach provides.
