Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This book presents theories and models to examine how humans interact with complex automated systems, including both empirical and theoretical methods.

• Provides examples of models appropriate to the four stages of human-system interaction
• Examines in detail the philosophical underpinnings and assumptions of modeling
• Discusses how a model fits into "doing science" and the considerations in garnering evidence and arriving at beliefs for the modeled phenomena

Modeling Human-System Interaction is a reference for professionals in industry, academia and government who are researching, designing and implementing human-technology systems in transportation, communication, manufacturing, energy, and health care sectors.
