Design of man—Computer interfaces for on-line interactive systems

An attempt is made to integrate a wide range of material into a conceptual structure for the design of man-computer interfaces for on-line interactive systems. Typical roles for the human in man-computer systems are considered. Suggestions for the design of systems are developed in discussions of displays and input devices, visual information processing, and mathematical models of human behavior. Possible developments and avenues of research in man-computer systems are suggested.
