Annotation The aim of this book is to describe the methodology of conducting the THEDRE research "Traceable Human Experiment Design Research". It applies to Research in Human Centered Informatics (RICH). These are areas of computer research that integrate users to build scientific knowledge and supporting tools for this research. As an example, we can mention the relevant fields such as Information Systems (IS), Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) Engineering, and Human Information Systems (HIA). The construction of this language and method is based on experiments conducted since 2008 in the field of RICH. This book first describes the problems related to the construction and evaluation of scientific knowledge in this field. Then, the author presents three elements necessary to the development of a traceable RICH research method: an epistemological paradigm, methods of data production and the continuous improvement process. The third part of the book is devoted to the presentation of the method THEDRE whose objective is to provide an operational process to accompany the researcher and train doctoral students in the practice of research. Finally, this book contains a practical manual consisting of a set of 10 guides.
