A variety of theoretical concepts and analytical tools have been developed to meet the associated challenges.

In contrast, work domains that are intent-driven (e.g., information retrieval) have, by and large, been ignored. Also, few studies have addressed nonvisual displays.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>EID has not yet realized its potential to improve safety and efficiency across the entire continuum of work domains.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Application:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>EID provides a single integrated framework that is (a) sufficiently comprehensive to deal with complicated work domains and (b) capable of producing innovative support that will generalize to actual work settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0018720819835990","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,15]],"date-time":"2019-03-15T16:22:16Z","timestamp":1552666936000},"page":"513-525","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Ecological Interface Design: Thirty-Plus Years of Refinement, Progress, and Potential"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"Kevin B.","family":"Bennett","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Wright State University, Dayton, OH, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Flach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mile Two, Dayton, OH, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0018720819835990","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1207\/s15327108ijap1503_1"},{"key":"bibr2-0018720819835990","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/001872089203400502"},{"key":"bibr3-0018720819835990","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1201\/b10774"},{"key":"bibr4-0018720819835990","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511973017.041"},{"key":"bibr5-0018720819835990","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1518\/155534308X377829"},{"key":"bibr6-0018720819835990","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/THMS.2014.2364984"},{"key":"bibr7-0018720819835990","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordhb\/9780199757183.013.0039"},{"key":"bibr8-0018720819835990","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1201\/9781315272665"},{"key":"bibr9-0018720819835990","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1389-1286(03)00287-1"},{"key":"bibr10-0018720819835990","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/106480460201000404"},{"key":"bibr11-0018720819835990","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/001401397188341"},{"key":"bibr12-0018720819835990","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apergo.2015.09.001"},{"key":"bibr13-0018720819835990","volume-title":"Global perspectives on the ecology of human-machine systems","author":"Flach J.
