Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The physical and cognitive characteristics of workers and consumers have become increasingly diversified. Human factors researches the relationship between humans and technologies, computers/robots, environments, and systems with which they interact by focusing on improving efficiency, creativity, productivity, and satisfaction. Interaction design deals with different disciplinary backgrounds and domains to research the applicability in social interactions. Human factors and interaction design accommodate a wide range of individual preferences and abilities. Also, they minimize hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions. They focus on understanding humans in the manufacturing process, public spaces, cultural anthropology, information processing, and exploring the interactions among humans, human-product, human-computer/robot, and human-system.
We welcome the submission of original works, reviews, and short communications including UI/UX design; Human error; Work-related injuries and illness; Human-computer interaction; Social robotics and human-robot interaction; Behavioral, physiological, micro, and macro ergonomics; and State-of-the-art reviews that cover all aspects of the social interactions.
