How to Design a Cognitive System

The design of a cognitive system requires a special set of analysis and design tools and, on this site, I describe the fundamentals. I rely predominantly on the framework of Cognitive Work Analysis and the strategy of Functional (Ecological) Workspace Design but also employ the tools of Naturalistic Decision Making and Decision-Centered Design where appropriate.

The tutorials available on this site offer a guide.
