Ask HN: Can you recommend good papers on UI design for complex systems?

In the course of my studies, I remember encountering two approaches explicitly targeting the design of complex systems:

* "Interaction design for complex problem solving: Developing useful and usable software" (a book by B. Mirel, 2004)

* Cognitive Dimensions Framework (the best place to start is probably http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~afb21/publications/BlackwellGreen-C... )

But as others have pointed out, it depends on what kind of complex system you are talking about.

I'd be interested in this too, but what kind of complex systems do you mean?

"Designing with the Mind in Mind" by Jeff Johnson is pretty good.

But it's a book.

By complex I mean a large array of options (1000's) with a lot of interdependencies, but I'm interested in anything on the subject of UI complexity at all really.
