Full Description
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.
