Submit a proposal to present your latest research, practice, or theoretical findings at an SDTG session at the 2019 Annual Meeting of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society to be held October 28 - November 1, 2019 in Seattle, Washington.
The SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT TECHNICAL GROUP (SDTG) offers a forum for fostering research and exchanging information on the integration of human factors and Human Systems Integration (HSI) into the development of systems in order to meet user requirements and reduce life cycle costs. We encourage co-submissions from related TGs such as: Safety, Training, Test & Evaluation, and Human Performance Modeling.
Specific topics of interest for HFES 2019 include:
- Applying HSI in Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
- Developing, implementing, and validating Human Factors and HSI-related requirements
- Leveraging other disciplines to inform design and analysis techniques
Proposals are due Monday, March 4, 2019, 6:00 p.m. EST.
Visit http://www.hfes2019.org/call-for-proposals.html or contact Bill Kosnik (william.kosnik.1@us.af.mil) for more information.
ATTENTION STUDENTS
In addition to our Best Paper (David Meister) award, the System Development Technical Group (SDTG) is providing up to four (4) $250 awards for students that incorporate multi-disciplinary design techniques to their work.
- Submissions must be original student work. Lead authors must be a full-time student at the time of submission. Work completed in either an academic or professional (i.e., internship or co-op) environment is eligible.
- Submissions must have SDTG indicated as a primary or secondary area of interest. Student work submitted to SDTG is automatically eligible for consideration. A separate panel will review papers, once accepted for HFES 2019.
- Winners must present - in-person - at an SDTG-hosted (or co-hosted) session.
- The effort should represent the efforts of a multi-disciplinary design team, such as different departments within a school.
- The paper should also include HFE-centric system development processes (e.g., iteration, user input to requirements, end user feedback).
- The work should address a human factors effort that integrates overall design and engineering process. Preference is given over multiple phases of a system development life cycle: e.g., requirements, design, and evaluation.
As interest in this topic grows, SDTG hopes to have a yearly Design Integration Student Session. Thank you and we look forward to your submission!
