..............................................................................................................................669 Technology has advanced considerably since the initial publication of this book fourteen years ago. At that time, DVDs did not exist, cell phones were few and far between, and the web and information superhighway were in their infancy. All of these technological developments have posed new usability problems for human factors scientists and professionals to address. Nevertheless, the basic principles underlying human factors and ergonomics are as relevant today as they were when the first edition was published. The second edition of a bestseller, Human Factors in Simple and Complex Systems, Second Edition provides the necessary understanding of the breadth and depth of human factors issues that influence the design, implementation, and evaluation of products and systems. Emphasizing the close relationship between basic theory and application, the authors delineate a framework for the research process, present an integrated view of the current state of knowledge, and examine how these factors can be applied to system design. The new edition addresses such concepts as situation awareness and highlights topics of interest, with a special focus on computer applications and human-computer interaction. See what s new in the Second Edition • New topics, such as situational awareness, that capture the tremendous changes in human factors and ergonomics • Tightly integrates basic research and application, strengthening the link between knowledge and practice • Each chapter includes a separate box that discusses a topic of current interest related to human interaction with computers and recent technology Demonstrating a general approach io solving a broad range of system problems, the book provides coverage of the theoretical foundation on which the discipline of human factors is built. Structured around human information processing, it covers the full range of contemporary human factors and ergonomics, then shows you how to apply them.

considerably since the initial publication of this book fourteen years ago. At that time, DVDs did not exist, cell phones were few and far between, and the web and information superhighway were in their infancy. All of these technological developments have posed new usability problems for human factors scientists and professionals to address. Nevertheless, the basic principles underlying human factors and ergonomics are as relevant today as they were when the first edition was published. The second edition of a bestseller, Human Factors in Simple and Complex Systems, Second Edition provides the necessary understanding of the breadth and depth of human factors issues that influence the design, implementation, and evaluation of products and systems. Emphasizing the close relationship between basic theory and application, the authors delineate a framework for the research process, present an integrated view of the current state of knowledge, and examine how these factors can be applied to system design. The new edition addresses such concepts as situation awareness and highlights topics of interest, with a special focus on computer applications and human-computer interaction. See what's new in the Second Edition • New topics, such as situational awareness, that capture the tremendous changes in human factors and ergonomics • Tightly integrates basic research and application, strengthening the link between knowledge and practice • Each chapter includes a separate box that discusses a topic of current interest related to human interaction with computers and recent technology Demonstrating a general approach io solving a broad range of system problems, the book provides coverage of the theoretical foundation on which the discipline of human factors is built. Structured around human information processing, it covers the full range of contemporary human factors and ergonomics, then shows you how to apply them.
