Ergonomics

Burnout is a common metaphor for a state of extreme psychophysical exhaustion, usually work-related.

This work gives a broad introductory overview of the topic of usability.

Although work furniture has had so much more attention recently there is a long way to go before this is translated into action in the wider world.

As more employees work non-routine hours, often in critical safety and security positions, recognizing and reducing stress and the human error it causes is more important than ever.

Bringing together renowned scholars, this handbook contains innovative current empirical and theoretical research in the area of job stress.

This special issue contains essays regarding the CHI '95 conference, which featured a panel titled, Discount or Disservice?

Presenting the proceedings of the Ergonomics Society's annual conference, the series embraces the wide range of topics covered by ergonomics.

Risk management and contingency planning has really come to the fore since the first edition of this book was originally published.

Science and technology has been used more and more in the last few decades to gain advantage over competitors.

Developing today's complex systems requires more than just good software engineering solutions.

Even to the casual observer of the automotive industry, it is clear that driving in the 21st century will be radically different from driving as we know it today.

Computer systems based on the notion of the computer as assistant have recently become the focus of intense interest.

This book focuses on design in the domain of human-computer interaction.

This volume's goal is to begin to document the dialogue processes in naturally-occurring human tutoring, in the context of informing the design of intelligent tutoring systems, and of interactive systems in general.

This volume aims to review some of the recent developments and trends that seem especially relevant to any attempt to understand near-term-future possibilities; to consider what a variety of knowledgeable people are saying about changes and developments that could occur; and to relate the possibilities to needs and opportunities for human factors research.

The contributors to this important volume begin with a simple premise: Computer system development is difficult, not primarily because of the complexity of technical problems, but because of the social interaction involved when users and designers learn to create programs and express ideas together.

This volume examines the nature of human error -- its causes and origins, its classifications, and the extent to which it is possible to predict and prevent errors and their impact.

In providing a theoretical framework for understanding human- computer interaction as well as design of user interfaces, this book combines elements of anthropology, psychology, cognitive science, software engineering, and computer science.

This text discusses the emerging trend in product development and research that focuses on the increasingly important relationship between computer systems and social systems.
