AHFE 2009 - 3rd International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics (AHFE 2010)

3rd International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics (AHFE 2010)

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 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 19, 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.
General

Parallel presentations. An abstract of about 800 words should be submitted through
the web and should include a statement of the objective and significance of the proposed
presentation, a description of methods, and a discussion of results. Please indicate to
which Board your submission should be sent for review. In some cases when considering
submissions for the parallel presentations, authors should consider whether their material
may be more effectively presented in the poster/demonstration sessions. In order to provide
a greater opportunity for more people to present at the Conference, each accepted paper
should have a different conference registrant. However, co-authors may appear on multiple
papers.
Tutorials. An abstract of 300 words should state the objective, content, target audience,
a bio-sketch about the presenter(s) and A/V requirements. Indicate whether the proposed
tutorial is for a half-day or full-day. Please submit abstract through the web.
Individuals can appear as co-authors in several papers in the AHFE International 2010 and
affiliated conferences, but can present only one paper. According to registration regulations
for the AHFE International 2010, inclusion of papers in the Conference Proceedings is
conditional upon registration of at least one author per paper by 1 March 2010.
Poster/demonstration sessions. This session has been especially designed to
accommodate the presentation of late-breaking scientific and professional news,
work in progress, work which can be more effectively presented via demonstration
or when the author feels more comfortable presenting the material in written
form or demonstrating it rather than by oral presentation. An abstract of 300
words should be submitted through the web and should include the essence of
the planned presentation. Equipment needed for demonstration is the responsibility of
the author. Inclusion of an extended poster abstract in the Conference Proceedings is
conditional upon registration of at least one author, per poster, by 15 April, 2010.
Special interest groups. The objective of these sessions is to bring together Conference
participants to discuss a topic of common interest. An 800 word abstract should be submitted
through the web and state the objective and significance of the session, potential participants
(or how participants will be selected), format of session, and anticipated duration.
