We are proud to support the XXII World Congress of the International Measurement Confederation (IMEKO) this year in Belfast. The event will be held at the Belfast Waterfront Conference & Exhibition Centre from 3–6 September 2018, and will attract over 700 delegates from around the world.
Meet Maurice Wilkins as he jointly presents ‘Human Performance Modelling for Adaptive Automation' with Maria Chiara Leva from the Dublin Institute of Technology and Yokogawa's Ferdinand Coster.
Abstract
The relentless march of technology is increasingly opening new possibilities for the application of automation and new horizons for human machine interaction. However there is insufficient scientific evidence on human factors for modern socio-technical systems supporting the guidelines currently used to design Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) (ISA 2014). This dearth of knowledge presents a particular risk in safety critical industries. The continuing 60–90% of accidents currently that are rooted in Human Factors (HF) and the rapid developments in the Internet of Things (IoT) and its novel automation archetypes means that the requirements for new interfaces are becoming more demanding, and creating new failure modes. To address this gap it is necessary to face the issue of modelling the human factor element and be ready to incorporate that knowledge into the design of adaptive automation.
About the Event
The event which is hosted by the Institute of Measurement and Control, the UK’s specialist Professional Engineering Institute in the fields of measurement, automation and control, and supported by the Institute of Physics, the World Congress will cover all aspects of current research in the field of measurement.
