IBM WebSphere Integration Developer (WID) and IBM WebSphere Process Server (WPS) are the existing systems which are relevant for the transfer project. WID can be used at build-time to define workflows consisting of activities that are executed automatically or by human interaction. The workflow definitions are written in the de facto standard Web Services Business Process Execution Language" (WS-BPEL) [887]. At runtime these workflows can be executed within WPS, but can neither be altered within their predefined sequences of activities nor extended by additional activities. 

Representation of human-automation integration requires functions of attentional control and concurrent task performance. Distributed attention and attention switching refer to an operator s ability to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. In many cases, a second task can be added to the performance of a primary task with little or no impact to the performance of the first task. In other cases, the performance of two tasks simultaneously has a disastrous interaction. Such context-and order-sensitive effects are determined in the scheduling and agenda management function provided in the MIDAS model. Attention capture functions are represented through a preattentive filter mechtmism that responds to physical characteristics of environmental stimuli (e.g., color, blinking, auditory characteristics). 

A near-reality perception (immersion) in a virtual environment is used to plan and investigate work sequences and activities. Immersion is achieved by 3D representation of information in real time by integrating several human senses, with the user perceiving himself or herself as part of the scene. The interaction differs from the input devices used so far in that direct intervention in the 3D space is possible (Durlach 1997). The goal is to adapt the work environment to human responses and physical capabilities. Simulation of the work environment and human interaction with work surroundings is necessary to produce a near-reality perception. Ergonomic investigations can be conducted with subjects without a physical test setup. 

Earth system science embraces chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics and applied sciences, transcending disciplinary boundaries to treat the Earth as an integrated system. It seeks a deeper understanding of the physical, chemical, biological and human interactions that determine the past, current and future states of the Earth. Earth system science provides a physical basis for tmderstanding the world in which we live and upon which humankind seeks to achieve sustainability. 

The need for maximum sample throughput and minimal human interaction within analytical procedures has provided considerable impetus to the development of integrated systems. SPE-LC in-tube SPME followed by ultraviolet (UV) or MS detection and membrane introduction mass spectrometry (MIMS) have both been used to this end. Submersible MIMS systems capable of extended underwater deployment down to 200 m and with a mass range of up to 200 amu have recently come onto the market. Elow injection coupled with MIMS allows fast, near-real-time determination of, for example, phenols in water. Derivatization of the phenols with acetic anhydride can be used to enhance both the selectivity and sensitivity of this method. Other online derivatization procedures are under development with a view to increasing the scope for rapid determination of highly polar compounds that have previously proved difficult to analyze.

Often SIL is considered as the overall measure for SIS reliability (safety integrity). From the standard, it is clear that there are three important issues in system integrity, and these are hardware, software, and systematic integrity. SIS reliability quantification is influenced by many factors, for example, selection of RBD, etc. On account of dependence on environmental conditions and human interaction, it is not always easy to keep independence between SIS and rest of the system. Naturally, it is important to be aware of some side effects introduced by...

In addition to giving information about their main areas of research human-centered design, operations of complex aerospace systems, human performance, and human-automation interaction, this site also has an extensive library of documents on human factors in full text. 

The term Hxl describes the trend towards ubiquity and human experience in information communications technology (ICT) environments. Specifically, the x in the term HxF represents research from a number of disciplines that collectively enhance the factor of human interactivity . In this way, the Hxl Initiative s research is focused on augmenting the ability of humans to interact with information, with each other, and with their environments through the effective application of ICT [3]. This includes research into the development of innovative interaction technologies novel interactive visualisation approaches, ubiquitous computing environments, and integrated telepresence for cooperative work.
