商品描述

Human information interaction (HII) is an emerging area of study that investigates how people interact with information; its subfield human information behavior (HIB) is a flourishing, active discipline. Yet despite their obvious relevance to the design of information systems, these research areas have had almost no impact on systems design. One issue may be the contextual complexity of human interaction with information; another may be the difficulty in translating real-life and unstructured HII complexity into formal, linear structures necessary for systems design. In this book, Raya Fidel proposes a research approach that bridges the study of human information interaction and the design of information systems: cognitive work analysis (CWA). Developed by Jens Rasmussen and his colleagues, CWA embraces complexity and provides a conceptual framework and analytical tools that can harness it to create design requirements. CWA offers an ecological approach to design, analyzing the forces in the environment that shape human interaction with information. Fidel reviews research in HIB, focusing on its contribution to systems design, and then presents the CWA framework. She shows that CWA, with its ecological approach, can be used to overcome design challenges and lead to the development of effective systems. Researchers and designers who use CWA can increase the diversity of their analytical tools, providing them with an alternative approach when they plan research and design projects. The CWA framework enables a collaboration between design and HII that can create information systems tailored to fit human lives.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

人類資訊互動(HII)是一個新興的研究領域,探討人們如何與資訊互動;其子領域人類資訊行為(HIB)則是一個蓬勃發展且活躍的學科。然而,儘管這些研究領域對於資訊系統設計顯然具有相關性,但它們對系統設計幾乎沒有任何影響。其中一個問題可能是人類與資訊互動的情境複雜性,另一個問題可能是將現實生活中的非結構化HII複雜性轉化為系統設計所需的正式、線性結構的困難。在本書中,Raya Fidel提出了一種研究方法,將人類資訊互動的研究與資訊系統的設計相結合:認知工作分析(CWA)。CWA由Jens Rasmussen及其同事開發,它接受複雜性並提供了一個概念框架和分析工具,可以利用它來創建設計需求。CWA提供了一種生態學的設計方法,分析塑造人類與資訊互動的環境力量。Fidel回顧了HIB的研究,重點關注其對系統設計的貢獻,然後介紹了CWA框架。她表明,CWA的生態學方法可以用於克服設計挑戰,並促使有效系統的開發。使用CWA的研究人員和設計師可以增加其分析工具的多樣性,為他們在計劃研究和設計項目時提供另一種方法。CWA框架實現了設計和HII之間的合作,可以創建符合人類生活需求的資訊系統。
