Presenting the Proceedings of the Ergonomics Society's annual conference, Contemporary Ergonomics embraces the wide range of topics covered by ergonomics. Individual papers provide insight into current practice, present new research findings, and form an invaluable reference source. A wide range of topics are covered in these proceedings, including ergonomics, human factors, and user-centered design. It also features related disciplines such as psychology, engineering, and physiology. Particular emphasis is given to the utility of these disciplines in improving health, safety, efficiency, and productivity. The 2007 Annual Conference features "Human factors at the heart of systems engineering."
