More than 15 years later, the situation is much the same--but at a very different level of scale. The disconnect between people and technology has had society-wide consequences in the large-scale system accidents from major human error, such as those at Three Mile Island and in Chernobyl. \u003cp\u003e To prevent both the individually annoying and nationally significant consequences, human capabilities and needs must be considered early and throughout system design and development. One challenge for such consideration has been providing the background and data needed for the seamless integration of humans into the design process from various perspectives: human factors engineering, manpower, personnel, training, safety and health, and, in the military, habitability and survivability. This collection of development activities has come to be called human-system integration (HSI). \u003ci\u003eHuman-System Integration in the System Development Process\u003c\/i\u003e reviews in detail more than 20 categories of HSI methods to provide invaluable guidance and information for system designers and developers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council,Division of Behavioral and Social Scienc,Committee on Human Factors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309107202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309107204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48658838388991,"sku":"9780309107204","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/human-system-integration-in-the-system-national-research-council-9780309107204","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
