Topics
Human-Machine Systems (HMS) influence human life everywhere - at work,
on the move and at home.
Human-Machine Interactions (HMI) with dynamic technical processes and
Human-Computer Interactions
(HCI) with
software applications are strongly interrelated and will both be covered
in this symposium.
Automatic and smart
behaviors as well as knowledge access are embedded in human interfaces
and in decision support
systems.
Human-centered designs and human-centered automation are driving forces
towards realizing the
symbiosis among
human, society, nature, and artefact and, thus, necessary for achieving
higher efficiency, safety,
performance, and
satisfaction. A firm theoretical and practical design methodology has to
be established, applicable
for all
human-machine (computer) systems. Technological developments will
increasingly be successful, and
economical,
only if end-user acceptance and improvements in joint human-machine
system performance are
guaranteed early on
in the systems life cycle. Multi-modality and multimedia based
interaction styles have to be more
creative and flexible.
Cross-disciplinary experience, e.g., from the entertainment sectors such
as the performing arts and
music, should be
exploited for the industrial, transportation, home, and service domains
such as financial services.
Cultural differences
are to be considered. Humans want to be in charge, mastering computers
and machines in a
task-oriented way, and
be encouraged to use them in a friendly environment.
1. Analysis, Design, and Evaluation of Human-Machine Systems
Human-centered design and automation
Methodology, principles, practice
Analysis: Cognitive task analysis, task and function allocation
Risk assessment, accident analysis, operational risk analysis
Modelling of human performance, reliability, and mental workload
Design: Work organization, job design, and team design
Graphical interfaces, auditory interfaces, multimedia design
Multi-modal interactions in real and virtual environments
Functional and adaptive interfaces, interface agents
Intelligent and agent systems, neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic
algorithms
Support for operational risk management, system operation, maintenance,
and supervision
Information management and knowledge retrieval
Barrier free and changeable designs
Evaluation:
Evaluation of performance, usability, safety, and workload
Laboratory simulation, field experiments and observation
Remote, Network and Internet Systems:
Remote co-ordination, mobile workplaces, wearable computers
Network and web interfaces, distributed multi-agent systems
Internet-based fault diagnostics and knowledge support
Embedded automatic systems in shared environments
Collaborative systems and distributed work
2. Application Domains of Human-Machine Systems
Advanced cooperation of humans and machines in various fields, such as
material processing,
production, quality
control, research, development, marketing, finance, delivery, and
services in the new and the
traditional industries

Call for Papers
Persons with scientific and/or practical experience in the field of
Human-Machine Systems are
invited to submit
papers in the topics listed above. Accepted papers will be classified
into two categories:
? formal presentation ?
interactive presentation (poster)
Extended ABSTRACTS (Electronic Copy Only) of each paper should be in
English (1000-2000 words) with
Figures and Tables. The cover page should contain: title of paper,
name(s) of author(s),
affiliation, address, phone,
fax number, and email address of each author, as well as 5-10 keywords.
The abstract should be
received (by email)
not later than
December 1, 2003.
The results of the pre-selection by the IPC, designation to formal and
interactive sessions or
refusal, will be
communicated to the authors by
February 15, 2004.
The deadline for full paper submission will be
April 30, 2004.
Notification of acceptance
June 15, 2004.
One author of each paper should pay registration fee as soon as the full
paper is accepted.
PANEL SESSION and ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS will be organised. An
EXHIBITION of products and
services in the HMS and HCI domains will be organised. Potential
exhibitors should contact the
organisers of the
Symposium.
IFAC Publications and Copyright Policy
The material submitted for presentation at an IFAC meeting (Congress,
Symposium, Conference,
Workshop) must
be original, not published or being considered elsewhere. All papers
accepted for presentation will
appear in the
Pre-prints of the meeting and will be distributed to the participants on
CD-ROM. Papers duly
presented will be
archived and offered for sale, in the form of Proceedings, by Elsevier
Science Ltd., Oxford, UK.
Papers that have
been presented will be further screened for possible publication in the
IFAC journals Automatica and
Control
Engineering Practice, or in an IFAC affiliated journal. The abstracts of
all papers presented will
also appear in
Control Engineering Practice. Copyright of material presented at an
IFAC meeting is held by IFAC.
Authors will be
sent a copyright transfer form. Automatica, Control Engineering Practice
and, after these, IFAC
affiliated journals
have priority access to all contributions presented. However, if the
author is not contacted by an
editor of these
journals, within three months after the meeting, the author is free to
resubmit the material for
publication elsewhere. In
this case, the paper must carry a reference to the IFAC meeting where it
was originally presented.
