The 4th D-CIS Human Factors Event continues the tradition established in previous years of facilitating the collaboration between academic institutions and industrial organizations to explore Human Factors issues via novel information dissemination and discussion methods.

 

 

 

 

The 4th D-CIS Human Factors Event will be held on the  

 

 

 

8th of November 2011

 

 

in Delft, the Netherlands.

 

 

 

This year’s event includes a conference and a dinner debate. The topic of the dinner debate is: “Human error: Why we must learn to trust our machines”.

 

In addition to the conference, on the 9th of November the D-CIS Lab will host a series of workshops.

The workshops will focus on integrating human considerations within and across the design of complex systems

(Human System Integration; HSI).

 

 

There are three broad goals of the D-CIS Human Factors Event 2011.

 

• First, the goal of the conference day is to highlight Human System Integration (HSI) success stories, either with regard to a specific application, product or domain, or with regard to the use of Human Factors methods in the design cycle.

 

• Second, the goal of the workshop day is to work in small groups to solve specific and current HSI problems. The focus will be on tools and techniques for an optimal integration of the human component in the design cycle.

 

• Finally, and overarching the initial two goals, the three activities together (conference, dinner debate and workshop) should facilitate communication between participants with the goal to establish future collaborative research projects.

As an outcome of participating in the event, it is our intention that delegates take home new ideas, new knowledge and new practical solutions for successful Human Systems Integration.
