Joint Cognitive Systems: Foundations of Cognitive Systems Engineering
CRC Press 2005; US$ 119.95Written by pioneers of Cognitive Systems Engineering (CSE), this book presents an alternative approach to the analysis and design of human-machine systems that overcome the limitations of the human information-processing paradigm. more...
Handbook of Cognitive Task Design
Lawrence Erlbaum Associates 2003; US$ 249.95Cognitive tasks are everywhere; a work design is effectively cognitive task design. This handbook acts as a single source for theories, models and methods needed for cognitive task design, written by leading experts from around the world. more...
The ETTO Principle
Ashgate Publishing Ltd 2009; US$ 39.95Accident investigation and risk assessment have for decades focused on the human factor, most notably in the form of "human error". Countless books and papers have been written about how to identify, classify, eliminate, prevent and compensate for "human error". This preoccupation with failure is near universal and can be found... more...
Safer Complex Industrial Environments
CRC Press 2009; US$ 96.95Examines the research on the contemporary human factors approach, looks at documented cases, and considers methods in practice. Presenting a contemporary view on human factors in complex systems, this book introduces theories and methods that can be used to describe human and collective performance in a complex socio-technical environment. more...
FRAM: The Functional Resonance Analysis Method
Ashgate Publishing Ltd 2012; US$ 39.95There has not yet been a comprehensive method that goes behind 'human error' and beyond the failure concept, and various complicated accidents have accentuated the need for it. The Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) fulfils that need. This book presents a detailed and tested method that can be used to model how complex and dynamic... more...
Governance and Control of Financial Systems
Ashgate Publishing Ltd 2011; US$ 99.95This book illustrates how the safety science of Resilience Engineering can help to gain a better understanding of what the financial services system is and how to improve governance and control of financial services systems by leveraging some of its key concepts. Resilience is the intrinsic ability of a system to adjust its functioning prior to, during,... more...
Resilience Engineering
Ashgate Publishing Ltd 2007; US$ 49.95For Resilience Engineering, "failure" is the result of the adaptations necessary to cope with the complexity of the real world, rather than a malfunction. Human performance must continually adjust to current conditions and, because resources and time are finite, such adjustments are always approximate. Featuring contributions from leading... more...
Resilience Engineering in Practice
Ashgate Publishing Ltd 2011; US$ 99.95Resilience engineering has since 2004 attracted widespread interest from industry as well as academia. Practitioners from various fields, such as aviation and air traffic management, patient safety, off-shore exploration and production, have quickly realised the potential of resilience engineering and have became early adopters.The continued development... more...
