PREFACE
The human factors profession is currently attempting to take a more proactive role in the design of man-machine systems than has been characteristic of its past. Realizing that human engineering contributions are needed well before the experimental evaluation of prototypes or operational systems, there is a concerted effort to develop tools that predict how humans will interact with proposed designs. This volume provides an overview of one category of such tools: mathematical models of human performance. It represents a col
