• Examines the structure and design of computer interfaces, particularly those connecting to the real world. Emphasizes the use of programmable logic and its techniques, the difficulties of integrating hardware and software, the difficulties of testing and the constraints of the environment.

• Concerned with the structure and design of computer interfaces, this concentrates on those connecting with the real world rather than those with computer-like peripherals, as the former present particular problems. The use of programmable logic and its techniques are emphasized in the design of interfaces and existing standard interfaces are described in their shortcomings. Inadequacies in interface design are a common cause of system failure, and it is argued that research and expenditure on interfacing has been paltry in comparison with other areas.
