%Program The subject is labelled "Software Ergonomics". It
contains the fundamentals of HCI, derived from psychology,
cognitive science, ergonomics and informatics. The main objective
is the training of computer science students in the design of
user interfaces according to the recommendations, rules and
standards developed during the last 15 years.

%Description The aim of the course is to show the students how to
derive formal rules for the design of user interfaces from
guidelines, styleguides, recommendations and standards. The rules
can be used to build a knowledge-based tutorial and and advisory
system, which the user interface designer can consult during the
design process.
