Task analysis is a central part of user-oriented design. Although
several approaches to task analysis already exist, we still lack a
common understanding of the psychological foundations of task
analysis, the methods to be used, and their integration into the
process of system and user interface design.

At this workshop, leading researchers in the field have the
opportunity to discuss the state-of-the-art and future of task
analysis.

We especially want to encourage contributions on
- psychological foundations of task analysis
- analytical models
- task action grammars
- object-oriented approaches in task analysis
- integration of task analysis into software engineering methods
- software tools for task analysis
- task analysis in special domains
- analysis of cooperative and coordinated tasks (CSCW)

Regarding task analysis for special domains, we particularly ask
for contributions dealing with spatial tasks, such as those
occurring in geographic information systems (GIS), computer aided
design (CAD), spatial decision support systems (SDSS) etc.
A special workshop session on spatial task analysis is planned.

Papers should be in English and comprise 6 to 10 single-spaced
pages (3000-6000 words) and an abstract of 200 words. Include
several keywords which are suitable for interdisciplinary
communication.  Produce a separate cover page with the title, the
name and affiliation of the author(s), and a contact address
(including phone number, fax, and e-mail).

Paper deadline:         January 31, 1992
Notification:           March 15, 1992
Final versions due:     May 15, 1992
