Ecological Interface Design

Notes

Burns, C.M. and Hajdukiewicz, J.R. (2004) *Ecological Interface Design*. Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press. ISBN 0-415-28374-4. 342 pp.

Routing note: routed from inbox on 2026-07-08 to human-centered-design-kb on design-frameworks / cognitive-foundations grounds. This is the foundational applications text on Ecological Interface Design (EID) and Work Domain Analysis (WDA); it is the primary source behind the [[ecological-interface-design]] article and upgrades the ecological-interface-design / abstraction-hierarchy content that was previously only mentioned secondarily in [[representation-design]] (Flach et al., 2021). EID/WDA content is also relevant to remote-operations-kb (supervisory control of complex systems) and to artificial-intelligence-kb (constraint-based interfaces for autonomous / safety-critical systems) — link, do not duplicate.

Verified: retrievable PDF held in RAW (10.9 MB, 342 pp.); text layer present (ocr ok). RAW renamed from inbox `Ecological Interface Design_26_06_30_13_18_11.pdf` (drop the capture-timestamp suffix). Large PDF — read by chapter page-ranges, not whole. Pagination: a front-matter offset means **PDF page N = printed page N + 35** (Introduction printed p. 1 = PDF p. 36; verified against running heads on PDF pp. 39–43 = printed pp. 4–8). Locators in the article give both PDF and `orig.` printed pages.
