Description
An examination of the various types of human-modeled technology, Advances in Applied Human Modeling and Simulation not only covers the type of models available, but how they can be applied to solve specific problems. These models provide a representation of some human aspects that can be inserted into simulations or virtual environments and facilitate prediction of safety, satisfaction, usability, performance, and sustainability.
Topics include:
-
- Anthropometry and human functional data
-
- Biomechanics, occupational safety, comfort and discomfort
-
- Biometric authentications
-
- Driving safety and human performance
-
- Enhancing human capabilities through aids or training
-
- Fuzzy systems and neural computing
-
- Human behavior and risk assessment modeling
-
- Integrating software with humans and systems
-
- International cooperation in education and engineering research
-
- Intelligent agents in decision training
-
- Intelligent data and text mining
-
- Machine learning and human factors
-
- Modeling physical aspects of work
-
- Monitoring systems and human decision
-
- Psychophysiological indicators of emotion
-
- Resilience engineering and human reliability
-
- Scenario-based performance in distributed enterprises
-
- Special populations
-
- Sustainability, earth sciences and engineering
-
- System-of-systems architecting and engineering
-
- Verification and validation
-
- Virtual interactive design and assessment
