In the next millennium, it is anticipated that human factors issues
will take centre stage in initiatives targeted at enhancing
economic competitiveness and productivity. This development is
already discernible in nascent knowledge and digital based
industries and economies, which are expected to emerge in force in
the near future and continue to dominate thereafter. These
developments will establish irreversibly the emerging global
economy. The theme of the APCHI 2000 conference is: "Towards a
seamless integration of collaborative human computer systems" to
reflect the already discernible shift in focus of human computer
interaction (HCI). whilst the theme of the ASEAN Ergonomics 2000
conference is: "From user centeredness to people centeredness" to
reflect the imminent shift in focus that is required of human
factors.
The papers in these proceedings provide a good contrast of human
factors contributions to both old and new economies that make up
ASEAN and APEC. They highlight the diverse roles human factors can
play in advancing the quality of life in developed, developing and
third world nations. They also serve as a guide to human factors
practitioners in old economies on what to expect as their economies
develop.
