Considering temporal aspects for the design of human- computer collaboration: identifying suitable foci

In this paper, we discuss the various foci that can be taken to model temporal task aspects in complex dynamic work settings, and relate these to the concept of human-computer collaboration. We are aiming to identify time-related aspects that are central to inform effective design in timeand safety-critical domains such as aviation, where pilots interact very closely with highly automated systems that often modify pilots’ tasks and roles, thus requiring new insights into the resulting interaction.
