In tasks of human supervision in industrial control room several
generic disciplines such as the software engineering for the
design of the computing interface and the human factors for the
design of the control room layout come into application. From the
point of view of the human computer interaction, to these
disciplines it is necessary to add the usability engineering and
the cognitive ergonomics since they contribute rules for the user
centered design. The main goal of this work is the application of
a guideline for supervisory control interface design in order to
improve the efficiency of the human machine systems in automation.

Sports Service Area interface of the Universitat Autónoma de
