Description
Summary:Human factors engineers are seeking the opportunity to have an early impact on the design of man-machine systems; to be involved from concept development onward. With this opportunity comes a responsibility. We must provide tools that allow the design team to predict human performance in the same manner that hardware and software performance is predicted. Mathematical models of human performance constitute one - perhaps the most intellectual - category of methods for addressing this requirement. Contents: Task Allocation and Workload Analysis Models; Models of Individual Tasks; Models of Multi-Task Situations; Crew Performance Models; Workspace Design - Anthropometrical and Biomechanical Approaches; Models of Training and Skill Retention; Review and Critique. Availability: Plenum Press 233 Spring St., New York, NY 10013 HC $115.00. No copies furnished by DTIC/NTIS.
