The human being, while developing a cooperative activity with a computer system, is subject to cause an undesirable situation in his/her task. This paper starts from the principle that human errors may be considered as a cause or factor contributing to a series of accidents and incidents in many diversified fields in which human beings interact with automated systems. We propose a simulator of performance in error with potentiality to assist the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) project manager in the construction of the critical systems. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.270-274engComputer SystemsHuman Computer-InteractionHuman ErrorSimulator of Performance in ErrorAutomated systemsCooperative activityCritical systemsHuman beingHuman errorsProject managersAutomationBehavioral researchErrorsHuman engineeringKnowledge managementProject managementHuman computer interactionTrabalho apresentado em evento10.1007/978-3-642-22098-2_54Acesso aberto2-s2.0-79960422912
