Zusatztext "In this erudite and timely text! Neville Stanton and his colleagues have assembled a veritable who's who of scientists to address the crucial ergonomic challenge of cognitive work analysis. In numerous! informative chapters! we are led to a highly practical and applicable understanding of contemporary techniques and future projections for this vital perspective on evolving human work. Informative for those at the cutting edge of science as well as the sharp point of the operational spear! it is a vital resource for those who wish to comprehend and actively contribute to the future of the human condition."-Peter A. Hancock! University of Central Florida! USA"This book contains a collection of contributions from leading scholars who specialize in the area of Cognitive Work Analysis! offering a wide range of illustrations and examples of diverse work domains. An excellent resource for researchers and practitioners! reflecting the state of the art in Cognitive work Analysis and demonstrating how this analytic framework can be applied to important problems in socio-technical design."-Dr Gavan Lintern! Cognitive Systems Design! Australia"Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA) reflects a shift in perspective for design thinking. This is a shift from a focus on human-machine or human-computer interaction to a focus on human-work interaction. This shift is essential for domains such as nuclear power! healthcare! and urban planning where success is no longer guaranteed by procedural compliance with a priori rules. The diverse examples provided in this volume will help readers to appreciate the nuances of CWA so that they will be better able to adapt the methods to the particulars of their own complex design challenges."-John M. Flach! Wright State University! USA Informationen zum Autor Professor Neville Stanton, PhD, DSc, is a Chartered Psychologist, Chartered Ergonomist and a Chartered Engineer. He holds the Chair in Human Factors Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering and the Environment at the University of Southampton in the UK. He has degrees in Psychology, Applied Psychology and Human Factors and has worked at the Universities of Aston, Brunel, Cornell and MIT. His research interests include modelling, predicting, analyzing and evaluating human performance in systems as well as designing the interfaces and interaction between humans and technology. Professor Stanton has worked on design of automobiles, aircraft, ships and control rooms over the past 30 years, working on a variety of automation projects. He has published 35 books and over 270 journal papers on Ergonomics and Human Factors. In 1998 he was awarded the Institution of Electrical Engineers Divisional Premium Award for research into System Safety. The Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors awarded him The Otto Edholm Medal in 2001, The President's Medal in 2008 and The Sir Frederic Bartlett Medal in 2012 for his contributions to basic and applied ergonomics research. The Royal Aeronautical Society awarded him and his colleagues the Hodgson Prize and Bronze Medal in 2006 for research on design-induced, flight-deck, error published in The Aeronautical Journal. The University of Southampton has awarded him a Doctor of Science in 2014 for his sustained contribution to the development and validation of Human Factors methods. Professor Paul Salmon holds a chair in Human Factors and is creator and director of the Centre for Human Factors and Sociotechnical Systems at the University of the Sunshine Coast. He currently holds a prestigious Australian Research Council Future Fellowship and has almost 15 years experience in applied Human Factors research in a number of areas, including defence, transportation safety, sports and outdoor recreation, and disaster management. Paul currently leads major research programs in the areas of road and rail safety, identity theft and cybersecurity, and led outdoor recreation accidents. Paul ha...
