The 45 papers explore how mathematical models of human performance can be used to design man-machine systems. Acquaints potential users with a broad range of models that may be used during the system development process to predict aspects of human performance. Provides overviews, specific model applications, and details on modelling tools that are currently available. The sections cover task allocation and workload analysis, individual tasks, multi-task situations, crew performance, anthrometrical and biomechanical approaches to workspace design, training and skill retention, and reviews and critiques.
