Human factors in simple and complex systems/Человеческий фактор в простых и сложных системах

Издание на английском языке
The third edition of Human Factors in Simple and Complex Systems is intended to update and expand our earlier editions taking into account the technological changes over the last 8 years. While technology may change, the foundation for understanding human performance remains the same. This foundation allows us to address issues of human factors and ergonomics in new and emerging technologies from a coherent, process-oriented perspective. As such, our goal continues to be to provide students with the knowledge necessary to understand the range of human factors issues that may be encountered in the design, implementation, and evaluation of products and systems. Our intent is to provide a foundation in the principles of human performance and a broad overview of the field of human factors for advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
