Since its inception, just after the Second World War, Human Factors
research has paid special attention to the issues surrounding human
control of systems. Command and control environments continue to
represent a challenging domain for human factors research.
Modelling Command and Control takes a broad view of command and
control research, to include C2 (command and control), C3 (command,
control and communication), and C4 (command, control, communication
and computers) as well as human supervisory control paradigms. The
book presents case studies in diverse military applications (for
example, land, sea and air) of command and control. The book
explores the differences and similarities in the land, sea and air
domains; the theoretical and methodological developments,
approaches to system and interface design, and the workload and
situation awareness issues involved. It places the role of humans
as central and distinct from other aspects of the system. Using
extensive case study material, Modelling Command and Control
demonstrates how the social and technical domains interact, and why
each require equal treatment and importance in the future.

This second edition of Human Factors Methods: A Practical Guide for
Engineering and Design now presents 107 design and evaluation
methods as well as numerous refinements to those that featured in
the original. The book has been carefully designed to act as an
ergonomics methods manual, aiding both students and practitioners.
The eleven sections represent the different categories of
ergonomics methods and techniques that can be used in the
evaluation and design process. Offering a 'how-to' text on a
substantial range of ergonomics methods that can be used in the
design and evaluation of products and systems, it is a
comprehensive point of reference for all these methods. An overview
of the methods is presented in chapter one, with a methods matrix
showing which can be used in conjunction. The following chapters
detail the methods showing how to apply them in practice.
Flowcharts, procedures and examples cover the requirements of a
diverse audience and varied applications of the methods. The final
chapter, a new addition, illustrates the EAST method, which
integrates several well-known methods into a teamwork analysis
approach.
This book deals with two important technologies in human-computer
interaction: computer generation of synthetic speech and computer
recognition of human speech. It addresses the problems in
generating speech with varying precision of articulation and how to
convey moods and attitudes.
Written by psychologists, this book focuses on the design of
computer systems from the perspective of the user. The authors
place human beings firmly at the centre of system design and so
assess their cognitive and physical attributes as well as their
social needs. The model used specifically takes into consideration
the way in which computer technology needs to be designed in order
to take account of all these human factors.
The text comprises a careful mix of theory and applications and is
spiced throughout with practical examples of do's and don'ts in
designing systems.
