Restrain mental workload with roles in HCI

Mental overload is a key issue for operators interacting with machines. Restraining mental load is the goal for advanced interaction design. This paper proposes a role-based approach to evaluating the mental workload for human users and restraining operators' mental load in interaction design. The proposed method can be applied to HCI to dynamically adjust the mental workload of the human users to improve the performance of interaction.
