Synthesizing basic results on how to design human work with complex systems, Joint Cognitive Systems: Patterns in Cognitive Systems Engineering provides examples of successful cognitive systems engineering research and design. It covers patterns in how joint cognitive systems work and those that have emerged from research and design in this field.
