TOPICS

Humans have always played a critical role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of work in many different domains. Despite significant advances in information technology and automation, this role does not seem to decrease. On the contrary, the complexity of existing and emerging socio-technical systems makes a proper consideration of the role of humans essential for all facets of system design and development, from the development of user requirements to decommissioning. In order to make efficient use of dynamic systems, humans are needed for functions as diverse as control, planning, decision-making, diagnosis, maintenance, repair and recovery. For example, in areas such as medicine, the introduction of computer-based diagnostic aids has simply refocused attention on the failures that can arise in interpreting the results provided by these systems. Similarly, in aviation, the introduction of glass cockpits has provoked new forms of unsafe acts that were unusual in previous generations of aircraft. These observations make clear why the central topics of EAM2005 continue to be as relevant today as they were when the series was started in 1981.

For EAM2005 papers are encouraged on, but not limited to, the following topics:

• detection, mitigation, prevention of human error
• error recovery strategies
• human error and wider forms of risk analysis
• the human component in system dependability
• managerial influences on human performance
• human behavior modeling and user models
• learning processes
• team work and work organization
• crew resource management
• situation awareness
• cooperative systems and CSCW
• Human-Machine interaction.
• Human Machine Interaction in Automotive Applications
• Human Machine Interaction in VR Environment
• Evaluation methods and tools
