document: Ecological interface design : progress and challenges Ecological interface design -LRB- EID -RRB- is a theoretical framework for designing human-computer interfaces for complex socio-technical systems . Its primary aim is to support knowledge workers in adapting to change and novelty . This literature review shows that in situations requiring problem solving , EID improves performance when compared with current design approaches in industry . EID has been applied to industry-scale problems in a broad variety of application domains -LRB- e.g. , process control , aviation , computer network management , software engineering , medicine , command and control , and information retrieval -RRB- and has consistently led to the identification of new information requirements . An experimental evaluation of EID using a full-fidelity simulator with professional workers has yet to be conducted , although some are planned . Several significant challenges remain as obstacles to the confident use of EID in industry . Promising paths for addressing these outstanding issues are identified . Actual or potential applications of this research include improving the safety and productivity of complex socio-technical systems
