The focus of this manuscript is on CSE/EID and the role that it may play in improving system safety. The decision making and problem solving literatures are reviewed for insights regarding effective decision support design. Analytical tools (i.e., abstraction and aggregation hierarchies) for conducting work domain analyses are described. Concrete examples are used to illustrate the need for ecological displays to span all levels of the abstraction hierarchy. The role of graphical displays in supporting decision making, problem solving and system safety is explored in detail.
