Abstract
With the rapid progress of information technology, the work environments that cognitive ergonomics is concerned with are changing; the interaction with physical systems is increasingly logically organized while new large-scale logical systems are emerging. Logical systems, having been mainly dealt with by HCI experts, are now integrated in scale and based on social dynamics. As more emphasis is necessary on interaction rather than the interface of those systems, they become a mandatory subject of cognitive ergonomics. The importance of large-scale logical systems escalates with the global advance of knowledge society. Corporations, with new production and commerce paradigms, are transforming into knowledge organizations to present design and operation issues to cognitive ergonomics. Cognitive ergonomics should adapt to this change in problem domains as they present different emphases on the topics and ingredients of cognitive systems.
