PERFORMING ORGANIZATION NAME(S) AND ADDRESS(ES)University of Linkoping LIU/IDA Linkoping 581 83 Sweden Human work has irrevocably become work with technology and the nature of work has changed to make the role of human cognition more important. Modern society has come to depend on the safe and efficient functioning of a multitude of technological systems in areas as diverse as industrial production, transportation, communication, supply of energy, information, and materials, health and finance. ECCE-10 focuses On the practical issues of human interaction with technology in the context of work and in particular how human cognition affects, and is affected by work and working conditions. The main topic areas of ECCE-10 are accident investigations, applications engineering, automation design, classification schemes and taxonomies, decision making, design and use of tools and interfaces, modeling of cognition and joint systems, performance analysis and prediction, risk an reliability studies, simulation, system design, development and training.

Welcome to ECCE-10 -the Tenth European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics ABOUT ECCE-10The theme of ECCE-10 is "Confronting Reality", reflecting the definitive transition from "cognition in the mind" to "cognition in the world". The European Conferences on Cognitive Ergonomics began with the problems of computer-user interaction in 1982 but soon (ECCE-4 and ECCE-5) extended the scope to a concern for how people use and relate to artifacts other than computers, and how this affects the quality of work. The two most recent conferences, ECCE-8 and ECCE-9, broadened the view to consider cognitive ergonomics in relation to the worksystem and to co-operation. In the past decade the growing use of information technology-has significandy changed both technical and social work environments. Activities are no longer confined to the local place of work, but may extend over considerable distances and involve collaboration with people who are not physically present. Indeed, we may not always know whether we are interacting with a human or a clever machine, both because machines have become smarter and because the pace of work has constrained the nature of the interaction. Confronting reality therefore has two meanings. First, that cognitive ergonomics must address the use of technology in many d...
