Abstract
The publication is the proceedings of the XIII European
Annual Manual
Conference on Human Decision Making and Manual Control,
held on June 13 - 14 in
Espoo, Finland. The conference continues the tradition
established in 1981 for
bringing together researchers from different disciplines
of man machine
interaction analyses in an informal way. The main goal of
the conferences has
been to provide a forum for discussions of ongoing
research.
The themes and papers of the XIII conference represent
adequately the diversity
of the man machine interaction field. Under the title Man
machine task
allocation the general problem of division of labour
between human and
technological components of the man machine system is
discussed. This problem
is also manifested in a profound question of the users'
trust in a machine
system. The second theme is Human reliability, and under
the title new methods
of defining reliability of human activity are presented
and evaluated.
Expertise based decision support is the third theme. The
common issue in this
area is the utilization of expert knowledge in aiding
decision in design, re
design and operation of production processes. Examples
from different
industrial processes are presented. The fourth title is
Information
presentation and operator support, and the focus of the
theme is on the
problems of presentation of adequate information of the
process for the user.
The last theme Decision making and learning in operative
and co operative
context introduces new methods of analysis and empirical
results of studies on
operators' decision making in industrial practice.
