San Francisco, Embarcadero Center,</span></a> will feature 100+ technical
sessions and feature HF/E aspects of health care and medical devices,
surface and air transportation, cognitive engineering, human performance
modeling, virtual environments, computer hardware and software design, product
design, aging, training, test and evaluation, environmental design, and system
development.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='background:white'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>The
Human Performance Modeling Technical Group (HPM-TG) is concerned with the
development and application of predictive, reliable, quantitative models of
human performance. Distinct to other approaches of behavioral and
cognitive modeling, HPM considers the human in the context of a designed task
environment – examining the human-in-the-loop. The scope of the models of
interest encompass the scope of systems of interest to the Human Factors and
Ergonomics Society. Hence, we equally promote models of isolated aspects
of human performance, models of the cognitive control of memory, attention,
perception, and action, and models of an integrative nature that receive task-related
information from the environment and produce thoughtful human-like
action. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style='background:white'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>General
topics of interest to our TG include: the basic science foundation for models,
engineering research required to apply models to human factors issues, new
formalisms for modeling, and techniques to evaluate predictive success of
models. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Special topics of interest for HFES 2010 include Human
Performance Modeling in the domains of aviation (UAV/UAS particularly), and in
the health care industry.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='background:white'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>We
envision our TG as a forum for testing modeling approaches emerging from the
basic research community against the hard realities of human factors problems.
Please consider submitting your work to what will be a high scientific quality
event in San Francisco later this year! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
