Abstracl. This survey paper focusses on the main theoretical issues in today's man-machine sysfemtresearch anb'aiplications. The lollowing problem areas are-discussed: (1) modelling hlman perlormance and mental workload, with identifying the state of the art as well as major methodblogical difficulties; (2) task allocation and decision support, with a human-centred perspoctive on @operative problem solving, integrated automation, and distributed decision hafing in leams; (3) man-machine

The importince ol man-machine-systems contributions to the design of better technical systems and their user ac€eptability is emphasised.
