... Rather, it is to prepare for that future with a rich plan that lays the foundation, a sound theoretical base, that will make specific results both easy to predict and simple to confirm empirically. Additionally, the research has to produce a development environment, a flexible hardware platform and programming environment, that allows rapid prototyping for empirical testing and easy final implementation.

... ISSUES There are important research issues that we common among these systems and the operational systems that we focus on today, but there are other, additional issues that are unique, requiring particular emphasis. The common issues, important to all future human-computer interaction, include: 1.

... With a body of emp Id tests of its predictions, this approach can both provide a robust base for future design situations and grow in sophistication and precision as a base for understanding complex cognition, even outside the domain of human-computer interaction. Progress on these topics will make substantial contributions to our understanding of how to design human-computer ~nterfa ~ for the Space Station in the year 2000, just as they will for those interfaces in offices and on the factory floor.

... However, in the Space Station environment, users will be doing few routine tacks. They will be doing tanks that involve navel situations, situations that invoke creative problem solving, not routine cognitive skill.

... Theoretical bases near to be established so that we can build systems that cc operate well with the human problem solver, so that systems can augment the intelligent human to produce an even greater level of understanding and action. APPROACHES FOR THE UNDEFINED FUTURE 1 As stated at the beginning of this discussion, the most difficult aspect of the task of listing research issues that the Space Station of your 2000 will benefit from concerns predicting the Space Station environment and the technology that will be available at the time.

... It is clear frump the papers in this session that funds devoted only to simple emp Apical studies of users' behavior with new, Increasingly complex technology will not be sufficient for answering the questions of the year 2000 and beyond. In contrast, research that focuses on: 1.
