ABSTRACT:
The capabilities of computer systems to comply with the real needs of their users are limited by the features of physical devices, usually called "hardware". These needs can be specified as task adequate refinement of data, availability of user defined amount of information and processing and presenting the data within the time limits given either by the specific task and/or by human physiology. The quality and usability of methods and procedures of entering, processing, presenting and storing of data and information is severely limited by the features of devices available on the marketplace. The term "software ergonomics" is misleading because it lacks a usable definition and attracts the attention of designers toward programming, while successful working systems can onlyy be created by considering these limitations while designing systems.
