An engineering standard for a systematic approach to the design of user-computer interfaces
Arthur Gardner · Institution of Engineering and Technology eBooks · 1987
User-centred design is a methodology for creating user-computer systems which give effective performance and are acceptable to users. These two goals are inter related since effective performance helps to make systems more acceptable to users (especially when their lives might depend on it) and acceptability to users helps to make systems more effective. The standard gives advice on systems design directed at both goals. The goals are not treated separately.
