Abstract

Unanticipated events can result in severe financial and human losses. The best solution is to have operators who can monitor proactively and respond to small changes to maintain the plant in a safe state. This paper examines the requirements for proactive monitoring and proposes ecological interface design as one possible way of supporting this behavior. Several examples of ecological graphics are included for demonstration.
