high integration of technology, organization, and people HITOP is a step-by-step manual procedure for industry practitioners who must implement technological change.

The basic premises of the procedure are that technological change will be more successfully

implemented when managers and designers are aware of the organizational and human implications of

their technology plans, and that this knowledge is used to design systems that integrate technology within its organizational and human context.

HITOP was developed in direct response to an industry-identified need for simple tools that identify likely organizational and human implications of technology plans.

With HITOP, companies preparing for technology changes are provided with the forms, checklists, terms, and questions for assessing the human and organizational changes needed to support the technology changes.

The Human-Computer Interaction International Conference was founded in 1984. Since then, HCI International is held jointly with several Thematic Areas and Affiliated Conferences under one management and one registration. Twenty-two HCI International Conferences have been organized so far (every two years until 2013, and annually after that).

The conference objective is to provide an international forum for the dissemination and exchange of up-to-date scientific information on theoretical, generic and applied areas of human computer interaction.

This is accomplished through various modes of communication, such as plenary presentations, parallel sessions, poster sessions, tutorials, exhibitions, Student Design Competition, mentoring sessions, demonstrations, and Late Breaking News.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Did you know that the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society has 24 technical groups that are concerned with the human factors aspects of specific application areas? One of those is the

The Individual Differences in Performance Technical Group. The Individual differences technical group was established to serve HFES members who share an interest in any of the wide range of individual differences or variables that are believed to mediate human performance.

Members of this TG share a common view that the study of these differences as related to human performance is not only useful but also may lead to better design of equipment, prediction of human task performance, operational environments, and training and selection.

The domain of research and applied topics shared within this technical group includes a broad range of individual differences such as performance ability, gender, intelligence, education, training level, personality traits, and anthropometric variables.

The Individual differences TG domain also includes investigating a wide range of social, cognitive, and biological origins of individual differences.

The crucial unifying principle of the TG is the importance of such variables for the advancement of human factors theory, research, and application.

The motto adopted as a guide for the group is “Prevent injury and improve performance and human-technology interaction by recognizing individual differences in human capabilities and

limitations.”

For almost a century, manufacturers have had the burden to provide products that are safe for the intended uses AND foreseeable misuses of their products. When product users are injured through the foreseeable use (or misuse) of a product, we analyze three phases of the product's development: the design, guards and warnings.

Manufacturers have the responsibility to eliminate known hazards, or to take reasonable steps to guard the user from being inadvertently exposed to the hazard. If the hazard cannot be feasibly eliminated or guarded, effective instructions and warnings are necessary to alert and inform the user about the hazard, how to avoid the hazard, and the consequences of not avoiding the hazard.

We can determine the likelihood that the defect existed when it left the manufacturer's hands, if the product was unreasonably altered, and if a defect was the proximate cause of an injury. Product liability often includes human factors analysis of the adequacy of instructions and warnings that accompanied the product.

The Kansei method is a method that transforms consumer's responses to new products into design specifications. Also known as Kansei engineering this discipline aims at the development or improvement of products and services by translating the customer's psychological feelings and needs into the domain of product design and parameters. As a result, products can be designed to bring forward the intended feeling.

Kansei engineering can be considered as a methodology within the research field of 'affective engineering' and can be used as a tool for product development.

Three focal points in the kansei method include:

Accurately understanding the consumer

Reflecting and translating consumer understanding into product design

and How to create a system and organization for consumer orientated design

Augmented Cognition research and development efforts seek to extend a user’s abilities via computational technologies that are explicitly designed to address and accommodate bottlenecks, limitations, and biases in cognition, such as limitations in attention, memory, learning, comprehension, visualization abilities, and decision making. At its core, the Augmented Cognition is concerned with fostering the development and application of:

• Real-time physiological and neurophysiological sensing technologies that can ascertain a

human’s cognitive state while interacting with computing-based systems;

• Mitigation (adaptive) strategies that enable efficient and effective system adaptation based on

a user’s dynamically changing cognitive state;

• Individually-tailored training systems;

The Augmented Cognition aims to

discover, develop, and apply neuroscience-based methodologies and tools that can enhance the

human-centered approaches inl human-system integration issues,

specific human-computer interaction techniques, or a combination of both.

Cognitive walkthrough: This method is a usability inspection method in which the evaluators can apply user perspective to task scenarios to identify design problems. As applied to macroergonomics, evaluators are able to analyze the usability of work system designs to identify how well a work system is organized and how well the workflow is integrated.

The focus of the cognitive walkthrough is on understanding the system's learnability for new or infrequent users. The cognitive walkthrough was originally designed as a tool to evaluate walk-up-and-use systems like postal kiosks, automated teller machines (ATMs), and interactive exhibits in museums where users would have little or no training. However, the cognitive walkthrough has been employed successfully with more complex systems like CAD software and software development tools to understand the first experience of new users.

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Did you know that the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society has 24 technical groups that are concerned with the human factors aspects of specific application areas?

One of those is The Human Performance Modeling Technical Group .

This technical group focuses on the development and application of predictive, reliable, and executable quantitative models of human performance.

The TG is an outgrowth of the renewal of interest in the human factors community towards the development of engineering style approaches appropriate for problems in human factors.

This movement has been centered on quantitative models. It considers the human, engaged in some goal-directed behavior, in the context of a specific task environment.

This TG uses models that integrate perception, cognition, and action in a task context and will encompass all quantitative executable representations of human performance that are potentially useful in human factors research or application.
