Book Synopsis

First published two decades ago, the first edition of Handbook of Control Room Design and Ergonomics: A Perspective for the Future became a benchmark for the field. Current-day process control encompasses a new generation of computer systems with enormous capabilities, including new display technologies. These new and emerging technologies integrated with human factors create an interconnectivity that enhances organizational development. This new edition of the handbook addresses developments in the concept of Control Rooms. It includes modern approaches that emphasize the role of people in learning for self-development and in shaping their work environments.





New in the Second Edition:









  • Extensive coverage of the use of the control room and its related computer system outside the work of monitoring and supervising the processes


  • Discussion and explanat
