This handbook presents a bold rethinking of Human Systems Integration (HSI) within Sociotechnical Systems (STSs), capturing the shift from traditional human-machine interaction to a dynamic, multi-agent systems approach. Drawing from various disciplines, including human factors, ergonomics, systems engineering, and artificial intelligence, the handbook explores the integration of technology,... Read more
