During the last 60 years the discipline of human factors (HF) has evolved
alongside progress in engineering, technology, and business. Contempo-
rary HF is clearly shifting towards addressing the human-centered design
paradigm for much larger and complex societal systems, the effective-
ness of which is affected by recent advances in engineering, science, and
education. Human Factors of a Global Society: A System of Systems
Perspective explores the future challenges and potential contributions of
the human factors discipline in the Conceptual Age of human creativity
and social responsibility.
Written by a team of experts and pioneers, this book examines the
human aspects related to contemporary societal developments in
science, engineering, and higher education in the context of unprece-
dented progress in those areas. It also discusses new paradigms for
higher education, including education delivery, and administration
from a systems of systems perspective. It then examines the future
challenges and potential contributions of the human factors discipline.
While there are other books that focus on systems engineering or on
a specific area of human factors, this book unifies these different
perspectives into a holistic point of view. It gives you an understanding of
human factors as it relates to the global enterprise system and its newly
emerging characteristics such as quality, system complexity, evolving
management system and its role in social and behavioral changes. By
exploring the human aspects related to actual societal developments in
science, the book opens a new horizon for the HF community.
