Abstract Despite the recent progress in the domain of Man-Machine Interface engineering, several problems concerning the incompatibility between the information presentation to the user and his cognitive representation remaIII This paper presents a new Task Object Oriented Description methodology (TOOD), especially adapted to the taking into account of the human factors for the specification of the Man-Machine Interfaces (MMI). A concrete application of this methodology was presented in the air traffic control context.
