Objective and Areas of Interest

You are cordially invited to participate in the 3rd Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics (AHFE) International Conference 2010 and the affiliated 1st International Conference on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care, 1st International Conference on Cross-Cultural Decision Making, 1st International Conference on Neuroergonomics, 1st International Conference on Applied Digital Human Modeling and the 13th International Conference on Human Aspects of Advanced Manufacturing, which are jointly held under one management and one registration. The conference objective is to provide an international forum for the dissemination and exchange of scientific information on theoretical, generic, and applied areas of ergonomics, including, physical ergonomics, cognitive ergonomics, social and organizational ergonomics, ergonomics modeling and usability evaluation, healthcare and special populations, safety and ergonomics in manufacturing. This will be accomplished through the following six modes of communication: keynote presentation, parallel sessions, demonstration and poster sessions, tutorials, exhibitions and meetings of special interest groups. The four-day conference will start with tutorials. The tutorials will be held on July 17, 2010. Tutorials will be offered (both half-day and full-day) at introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels covering the entire spectrum of the conference.

All submitted abstracts will be peer-reviewed by three independent referees from the international program boards. It is anticipated that a broad range of research and applied topics will be covered during the conference. Papers in the theoretical category should deal with models, concepts, and structures; papers in the generic category should present research results of broad applicability; and papers in the applied category should show how the demands of particular application areas shape the way generic research is translated into practical innovation.

All accepted papers will appear in the Conference Proceedings (on CD-ROM), and will also be included in the series of hard-covered Conference books to be published by CRC Press / Taylor & Francis, Ltd.

Proceedings. All parallel presentations will be published on a CD-ROM with an ISBN designation.
