Resilience and coping with complexity at a working level in the regulation of ship bridges is discussed. Shipping is presented as a system of systems, operating with different time constants. The properties of these interacting systems are discussed.

The publication of these standards represents a maturing of the discipline of user-centred design. The systems development community see that (at last) Human Factors has processes which can be managed and integrated with existing project processes. This internationally agreed set of human-centred design processes provides a de"nition of the capability that an organization must possess in order to implement user-centred design e!ectively. It can also be used to assess the extent to which a particular development project employs user-centred design. As such, it presents a challenge to the Human Factors community, and indeed a de"nition of good practice may even be regarded by some as an unwelcome constraint. This paper presents the background to the process-level de"nition of user-centred design and describes how it relates to current practice. The challenges, bene"ts and use of a de"ned human-centred design process are presented. The implications for Human Factors and other disciplines are discussed. In Appendices A}D, the process terminology and the contents of ISO 13407 and ISO TR 18529 are described in more detail, and three examples are given (in Appendix D) of using this process improvement approach to improve the actual design methods in three organizations.

The risk of 'drowning in data and starved of information' is more likely to increase than decrease. E-navigation aims to harmonize information provision and need (end-to-end). This process of harmonization is necessarily user-centred. Critical to a user-centred approach is consideration of the (ever-changing) context of use, embracing technical, physical and management considerations. For the bridge team and pilot, harmonization includes meeting the aims of SOLAS V/15, supported by SN.1 Circ. 265, addressing the design implications of Bridge Resource Management. Modern bridges are not necessarily in perfect harmony, and there is some fixing to be done, as well as coping with new developments. This talk examines what a user-centred approach to harmonization might mean in general, and describes a recent Lloyd's Register notation that aims to provide assurance of harmonization for navigational and operational functions on the bridge.

Managing complexity and covering a large decision space impose heavy demands on the process. This paper presents a new approach to supporting the review process using interactive, immersive 3D environments linked to simulation models. The system, still under development, enables users who are non-expert in CAD to modify design parameters in real-time using a virtual-reality-based interface and receive immediate feedback from simulations and design rule checking systems. Review planning and post-analysis will be supported through an integrated annotation and logging system. We describe the design rationale for the system, some technical challenges, and how these will be addressed.
