Zusammenfassung:Fully up-to-date coverage of human factors engineering—plus online access to interactive demonstrations and exercises Engineering accomplishments can be as spectacular as a moon landing or as mundane as an uneventful drive to the local grocery store. Their failures can be as devastating as a plane crash or a massive oil spill. Over the past decade, psychologists and engineers have made great strides in understanding how humans interact with complex engineered systems—human engineering. Introduction to Humans in Engineered Systems provides historical context for the discipline and an overview of some of the real-world settings in which human engineering has been successfully applied, including aviation, medicine, computer science, and ground transportation. It presents findings on the nature and variety of human-engineering environments, human capabilities and limitations, and how these factors influence system performance. Important features include:Contents organized around the interaction of the human operator with the larger environment to guide the analysis of real-world situationsA web-based archive of interactive demonstrations, exercises, and links to additional readings and tools applicable to a range of application domainsWeb content customizable for focus on particular areas of study or research ROGER W. REMINGTON is a professor and Vice-Chancellor's Research Fellow in the School of Psychology at The University of Queensland. DEBORAH A. BOEHM-DAVIS is a University Professor in the Department of Psychology and Associate Dean in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at George Mason University. CHARLES L. FOLK is a professor in the Department of Psychology and Director of the Cognitive Science Program at Villanova University.
Beschreibung:"This book provides a repository of cases and articles on the broad applications of human factors knowledge across the globe. Written by highly experienced authors in this field, this book takes a control theory perspective and uses control diagrams to illustrate the relationships and interactions between the various knowledge areas and applications. A web-based archive of articles, cases, examples and exercises from across the range of knowledge areas and applications is provided as well"--
"The contents are organized around the flow of information in control-theoretic diagrams that link the various system elements, including the human element, to guide the analysis of real-world situations"--
