Description
Book Synopsis
Although cognitive engineering has gained widespread acceptance as one of the most promising approaches to addressing and preventing difficulties with human-machine coordination and collaboration, it still meets with considerable skepticism and resistance in some of the industries that could benefit from its insights and recommendations. The challenge for cognitive engineers is to better understand the reasons underlying these reservations and to overcome them by demonstrating and communicating more effectively their concepts, approaches, and proposed solutions. To contribute to this goal, the current volume presents concrete examples of cognitive engineering research and design. It is an attempt to complement the already existing excellent literature on cognitive engineering in domains other than aviation and to introduce professionals and students in a variety of domains to this rather young discipline.

Trade Review
"The scope of discussion across the chapters makes this text valuable to human factors professionals by providing a historical perspective of the evolution of the field and by keeping us updated on important paradigms....I recommend this book for relevant graduate classes....helpful to the members of regulating agencies and accident investigation teams."
—Ergonomics in Design
"Cognitive Engineering in the Aviation Domain presents an impressive insight into the state of the art in this burgeoning field, written by various influential figures. Many of the critical issues are addressed in detail and in context, and useful case studies are incorporated in many of the chapters. This book will be of interest to other researchers in the field."
