The increased complexity of modern sociotechnical systems (STS) necessitates the need for a manageable representation of their attributes, to augment our understanding and enable the development of ways through which we can increase their effectiveness, efficiency, and safety. Although many of the methodologies developed in the Human Factors domain map and investigate system properties and network structures, the inclusion of the temporal dimension in the analysis of STS remains limited. In this paper we present how modeling and visualization of STS can be augmented with the incorporation of temporal interaction analysis techniques that enable a micro-level, fine-grained analysis of data. We provide an overview of temporal analysis techniques by breaking down their main function, requirements, types of research questions they can address, and the visualization properties they offer, attempting to enhance their use in system analysis. This overview can assist researchers in selecting an analysis technique, enabling the incorporation of temporality in STS analysis, and helping towards the design of improved and safer systems and interventions.

将时间交互分析技术纳入建模和理解社会技术系统

现代社会技术系统 (STS) 日益复杂，因此需要对其属性进行可管理的表示，以增强我们的理解并促进开发提高其有效性、效率和安全性的方法。尽管在人为因素域中开发的许多方法学映射和研究系统属性和网络结构，在 STS 分析中包含的时间维度仍然有限​​。在本文中，我们介绍了如何通过结合时间交互分析技术来增强 STS 的建模和可视化，这些技术能够对数据进行微观、细粒度的分析。我们通过分解它们的主要功能、要求、它们可以解决的研究问题类型来概述时间分析技术，以及它们提供的可视化特性，试图增强它们在系统分析中的使用。该概述可以帮助研究人员选择分析技术，将时间性纳入 STS 分析，并有助于设计改进和更安全的系统和干预措施。
