Abstract
Fuzzy Signal Detection Theory (FSDT) combines traditional Signal Detection Theory (SDT) with Fuzzy Set Theory to generalize signal detection analysis beyond the traditional categorical decision-making model.

Abstract:
Objectives
Warnings are an effective way to communicate hazard, yet they can also increase task demand when presented to operators involved in real-world tasks.

Preamble:
One of the mandates of each of the series of meetings on complex technical systems has been to review, rewrite, edit, amend, and elaborate upon initial position papers based upon insights and interactions that occurred at the meeting itself.

Excerpt
How quickly it is that “how can he do that?” becomes “he couldn’t possibly do that,” which then morphs into “a mysterious entity or force must have helped him do that.”

Abstract:
The implementation of automation relies on the assumption that automation will reduce the operator’s cognitive demand and improve performance.
The recipient of the Alexander C. Williams, Jr., Design Award, which recognizes a person for outstanding human factors contributions to the design of an operational system, was Peter Hancock of the University of Central Florida. In addition to his notable scientific research, Hancock has made several contributions to a number of design efforts, including a roadway design project for the Minnesota Department of Transportation, a heart pacemaker and a device to reduce needle-sticks, and involvement in the design of the IMPRINT system for the military.
