1.1 Hill (2010) Diagnosing Co-ordination Problems in the Emergency Management Response to Disasters

Hill uses HCI Engineering Frameworks to distinguish long-term HCI knowledge, as principles supporting design from short-term HCI knowledge, as methods and models, expressed as design-oriented frameworks supporting design. The Discipline Framework of HCI is explicit and takes the form of an engineering discipline – see especially Section 1.1 Development of Design-oriented Frameworks and models for HCI.

1.2 Salter (2010) Applying the Conception of HCI Engineering to the Design of Economic Systems

Salter uses the HCI Discipline Framework to distinguish different types of explicit HCI discipline, for example, applied science and engineering. According to Salter, the former has discipline problems of understanding and prediction, while the latter has discipline problems of design. He then applies the HCI Discipline Framework to the HCI engineering design of economic systems in the light of the on-going ‘2007’ financial crisis – see especially Section 1 Introduction.

1.3 Stork and Long (1994) A Specific Planning and Design Problem in the Home

Stork and Long use the HCI Discipline Framework to locate their research on the time-line of the possible development of an HCI Discipline and the characteristics of such a discipline. The time-line extends from the present – a craft (applied science or engineering) discipline to the future – a principled engineering discipline  – see especially Introduction and Engineering Sections.
