Call for Papers and workshop proposals
The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia HFESA and the NSW Organising Committee take great pleasure in inviting submissions for presentations to the 42nd Annual Conference of HFESA. The conference will be held in Sydney, Australia.
20th-22nd November 2006 at the University of Technology (UTS).
The theme for this conference is:
New Technology - Putting Macro and Micro in Context
Human Factors/ Ergonomics spans the full range of interactions between people and the systems, spaces and designs that they encounter. Our research and practice need to engage with developments in overarching policy and legislative frameworks, organisational design and management, physical environments, products and devices. The theme of this year's conference seeks to identify current developments at these various 'scales' of concern and to explore the related challenges and opportunities for those working in our field.
The conference will provide a forum for people across the spectrum of Human Factors, Ergonomics and management interests to exchange ideas and identify new opportunities and challenges in the field. The conference will be of interest to Human Factors and Ergonomics professionals, Management professionals, Design professionals (including Architects, Engineers, Industrial Designers, Interface/Interaction Designers), OHS and injury management professionals, Psychologists, Occupational therapists and Physiotherapists and those working in related academic disciplines. ( Note: The 2006 Conference will be also be held back-to-back with OZCHI; the annual conference of the Human Computer Interaction Special Interest group of the HFESA.- a separate call for papers for the OZCHI Conference will be published)
