UQ's Cognitive Systems Engineering researchers investigate ways to analyse, model and evaluate human-system integration with a view to designing better interfaces for complex systems. We aim to develop better theoretical frameworks and methodologies for identifying human-system integration needs more effectively and moving more quickly to practical solutions.
