for answering specific questions which emerged from real work situations, or/and, like in our case, results can be used as a guide-line for observing real- work situations. Indeed, we plan to observe an anaesthesia situation in order to validate the importance of representing temporal structure for regulate actions in time. The articulation of these different research methods can lead, to our view, to fruitful reflexions and strong results.
