    An examination of the various types of human-modeled technology, Advances in Applied Human Modeling and Simulation not only covers the type of models available, but how they can be applied to solve specific problems. These models provide a representation of some human aspects that can be inserted into simulations or virtual environments and facilitate prediction of safety, satisfaction, usability, performance, and sustainability.





    Topics include:







    • Anthropometry and human functional data


    • Biomechanics, occupational safety, comfort and discomfort


    • Biometric authentications


    • Driving safety and human performance


    • Enhancing human capabilities through aids or training


    • Fuzzy systems and neural computing


    • Human behavior and risk assessment modeling


    • Integrating software with humans and systems


    • International cooperation in education and engineering research


    • Intelligent agents in decision training


    • Intelligent data and text mining


    • Machine learning and human factors


    • Modeling physical aspects of work


    • Monitoring systems and human decision


    • Psychophysiological indicators of emotion


    • Resilience engineering and human reliability


    • Scenario-based performance in distributed enterprises


    • Special populations


    • Sustainability, earth sciences and engineering


    • System-of-systems architecting and engineering


    • Verification and validation


    • Virtual interactive design and assessment




    The math and science provides a foundation for visualizations that can facilitate decision making by technical experts, management or those responsible for public policy. In considering a systems perspective and decisions that affect performance, these models provide opportunities for an expanded role of engineers and HF/E specialist
