Attention-oriented design

The focus of the interaction design intended for exceptional situations should be attention oriented. 

Attention consumption

  The interaction design should consider the main operators' tasks, including those which are not related to the interaction design, and prioritize these tasks over interaction-related activity.

Error prevention

  Much of the operator's time and mental efforts are wasted on error detection, troubleshooting and recovery. If acceptable, the interaction design should restrict error-prone activity.

  It should be noted that restricting the operator's activity might hamper the operator's ability to tackle exceptional situations .
