Synopsis

An examination of the various types of human-modeled technology, Advances in Applied Human Modeling and Simulation not only covers the type of models available, but how they can be applied to solve specific problems. These models provide a representation of some human aspects that can be inserted into simulations or virtual environments and facilitate prediction of safety, satisfaction, usability, performance, and sustainability.

Topics include:

• Anthropometry and human functional data



• Biomechanics, occupational safety, comfort and discomfort



• Biometric authentications



• Driving safety and human performance



• Enhancing human capabilities through aids or training



• Fuzzy systems and neural computing



• Human behavior and risk assessment modeling



• Integrating software with humans and systems



• International cooperation in education and engineering research



• Intelligent agents in decision training



• Intelligent data and text mining



• Machine learning and human factors



• Modeling physical aspects of work



• Monitoring systems and human decision



• Psychophysiological indicators of emotion



• Resilience engineering and human reliability



• Scenario-based performance in distributed enterprises



• Special populations



• Sustainability, earth sciences and engineering



• System-of-systems architecting and engineering



• Verification and validation



• Virtual interactive design and assessment

The math and science provides a foundation for visualizations that can facilitate decision making by technical experts, management or those responsible for public policy. In considering a systems perspective and decisions that affect performance, these models provide opportunities for an expanded role of engineers and HF/E specialist
