Winter, J M

There is much to be done in Human Factors. First, I'm going to give a brief overview of the field. I'll give some background on human factors, talk about what the nature of the problem is, what the costs are, how they can be alleviated, and why we don't just run out and fix them. Second, Paul Hoffman will discuss highlights from current research and some elements of the business case. Finally, Tamara Sturak, Manager of the Human Factors Project, will talk about activities of the Project.
