Human Computer Interaction
Web Wisdom Practical Speech User Interface Design James R. Lewis Although speech is the most natural form of communication between humans, using speech to communicate with machines is anything but natural. Drawing from psychology, human-computer interaction, linguistics, and communication theory, this book provides a comprehensive yet concise survey of practical speech user interface design. It presents research and practice-based guidance for the development of usable speech user interfaces, such as the interactive voice response applications designed to provide phone-based call routing and self-service. The author, a leading human factors engineer, covers both high- and low-level decisions and also includes VoiceXML code examples. To help articulate the rationale behind various SUI design guidelines, he includes a number of detailed discussions of the applicable research. The techniques for designing usable SUIs are not obvious, and to be effective, must be informed by a combination of critically interpreted scientific research and leading design practices. The blend of scholarship and practical experience found in this book establishes research-based leading practices for the design of usable speech user interfaces for interactive voice response applications. • Discusses design practices consistent with recent research • Provides VoiceXML code examples to aid in developing prototypes • Presents complete sample VoiceXML mini-application illustrating design principles • Includes description of associated research

Andrew Sears and Julie A. Jacko Delineating the application of HCI in real-world environments, this book examines the larger context in which HCI happens then uses that context as the basis for the design of users experiences. It explores modern interpretations and uses of task analysis, defining its meaning and providing a practical guide. The book includes an overview of the steps of Rapid Context Design and key issues in its use, then introduces ethnography as it relates to studies in HCI. Other topics include tools and techniques for using prototypes, scenario-based design, participatory design, the user interface development paradigm, and more.
An examination of the interplay between the processes of action and attention and the implications for those working in HCI, this book surveys methods used to study human information processing, then summarizes the major findings and the theoretical used to explain them. It compares the term “mental models” in HCI literature and in the neighboring discipline of cognitive psychology. The book reviews the psychology and technology of emotion, identifying discoveries and concepts relevant to the design and assessment of interactive systems. It clearly articulates the need to more completely understand how stress and workload impact HCI and how to exploit positive effects and mitigate negative effects.

Daniel J. Garland The application of human factors to aviation has come of age and is thriving, so much so that its influence has spread to other applications. Keeping pace with the field during the decade since its initial publication, the Handbook of Aviation Human Factors has also continued to evolve. Completely revised and updated, the second edition of this groundbreaking resource includes: • New chapters on resilience, uninhabited aerial vehicles, and aesthetics • Significant revisions and expansions to every chapter • New contributing co-authors who bring new perspectives • Human factors achievements and current trends The handbook explores the history of aviation human factors, current R&D focus, basic research issues, organizational factors, personnel selection, ATC and ATM relevant issues, weather systems, team and individual performance, fatigue, situation awareness, training, and forensics. It boasts contributors from six countries on three continents with backgrounds in academia, industry, government-based research, development organizations, and international aviation organizations as well as practicing engineers. The demand for aviation continues to expand and aviation must respond to that demand. The safety culture of aviation imposes a need, in advance of change, for sound evidence that the expected benefits of said change will accrue, without hidden hazards to safety and without new and unexpected sources of human error. The multidisciplinary, international scope of this book provides the skills required not only to interpret and generalize findings, but also to translate them into real solutions and safety benefits.

Many chapters focus on analysis, design, and evaluation of challenges affecting students, trainees, members of the military, and persons with disabilities, as well as universal design. In general, the chapters move from general to more specialized application. Catalog no. K11579, June 2010, 910 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4398-3501-2, $79.95 / £49.99 Also available as an eBook

Advances in Human Factors and Ergonomics Series
This volume is concerned with digital human modeling: the design of systems that reducing the need for physical prototyping and incorporating ergonomics and human factors earlier in design processes. Digital human models are representations of some aspects of a human that can be inserted into simulations or virtual environments to facilitate prediction of safety, satisfaction, usability and performance. These representations may consider the physical, physiological, cognitive, behavioral or emotional aspects. They are typically represented by some visualization with the math and science computed in the background.
Based on recent research, this book discusses how to improve quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness in patient care through application of human factors and ergonomics principles. It provides guidance on the design and application of systems and devices for healthcare delivery, from both a patient and staff perspective. It covers everything from the proper design of bed rails to the most efficient design of operating rooms to analysis of staff-patient interaction. It also supplies a way to improve organizational aspects and approaches to modeling, targeting work aspects specific to healthcare settings.
