The importance of 'situation awareness' (SA) in assessing and
predicting operator competence in complex environments has become
increasingly apparent in recent years. It has been widely
established that SA is a contributing factor to many commercial and
military accidents and incidents. Yet determining exactly what
constitutes SA is a very difficult task, given the complexity of
the construct itself, and the many different processes involved
with its acquisition and maintenance. This volume brings together
recent developments from researchers and practitioners from around
the world who are studying and applying SA from a cognitive
perspective. The 41 contributors represent many different
theoretical perspectives, research approaches and domains of
application. Each chapter has a primary emphasis around one of
three main topics - theory, measurement and application and
examines the considerable inter-linkage between them. To bring
further coherence to the book, all of the contributors received
draft manuscripts of those chapters most relevant to their own.
Designed to be completely international and interdisciplinary, the
authors themselves present varied perspectives from academic
departments and industrial organisations from around the world, and
from broad applications - with contributions from researchers in
the domains of process control, sport, aviation, transportation,
and command and control. The readership includes practitioners,
academics and researchers within human factors, ergonomics and
industrial psychology; Graduate and Undergraduate students
specialising within these areas during their final year.
As ubiquitous as the atmosphere, intelligent adaptive systems
(IASs) surround us in our daily lives. When designed well, these
systems sense users and their environments so that they can provide
support in a manner that is not only responsive to the evolving
situation, but unnoticed by the user. A synthesis of recent
research and developments on IASs from the human factors (HF) and
human-computer interaction (HCI) domains, Intelligent Adaptive
Systems: An Interaction-Centered Design Perspective provides
integrated design guidance and recommendations for researchers and
system developers. The book explores a recognized lack of
integration between the HF and HCI research communities, which has
led to inconsistencies between the research approaches adopted, and
a lack of exploitation of research from one field by the other. The
authors integrate theories and methodologies from these domains to
provide design recommendations for human-machine developers. They
then establish design guidance through the review of conceptual
frameworks, analytical methodologies, and design processes for
intelligent adaptive systems. The book draws on case studies from
the military, medical, and distance learning domains to illustrate
intelligent system design to examine lessons learned. Outlining an
interaction-centered perspective for designing an IAS, the book
details methodologies for understanding human work in complex
environments and offers understanding about why and how optimizing
human-machine interaction should be central to the design of IASs.
The authors present an analytical and design methodology as well as
an implementation strategy that helps you choose the proper design
framework for your needs.

upon completing this book, readers will be able to identify how
human ability contributes to the design of technology understand
the connections within human information processing and human
performance challenge the way they think about technology's
influence on human performance show how theoretical advances have
been, or might be, applied to improving human-machine interaction
New to the edition: A new chapter on research methods Sections on
interruption management and distracted driving as representation of
cogent examples of applications of engineering psychology theory to
problems in society A greatly increased number of references to
pandemics, technostress, and misinformation New applications
Amplified emphasis on readability and common-sense examples Updated
