Call For Papers - CFP

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.
