You are cordially invited to participate in the 5th International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics 2014 and the Affiliated Conferences, jointly held under one management and one registration, including:

• 3rd International Conference on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Healthcare
  
  
• 3rd International Conference on Cross-Cultural Decision Making
  
  
• 3rd International Conference on Applied Digital Human Modeling
  
  
• 2nd International Conference on The Human Side of Service Engineering
  
  
• 2nd International Conference on Affective and Pleasurable Design
  
  
• 2nd International Conference on Human Factors in Transportation
  
  
• 2nd International Conference on Science, Technology, Higher Education, Society in the Conceptual Age: STHESCA
  
  
• 2nd International Conference on Ergonomics In Design
  
  
• 15th International Conference on The Human Aspects of Advanced Manufacturing (HAAMAHA): Manufacturing Enterprises in a Digital World

The conference objective is to provide an international forum for the dissemination and exchange of scientific information on theoretical, generic, and applied areas of ergonomics, including, physical ergonomics, cognitive ergonomics, social and occupational ergonomics, cross- cultural aspects of decision making, ergonomics modeling and usability evaluation, human digital modeling, healthcare and special populations, safety and ergonomics in manufacturing, and human side of service engineering. This will be accomplished through the following six modes of communication: keynote presentation, parallel sessions, demonstration and poster sessions, tutorials, exhibitions, and meetings of special interest groups. The five-day conference will start with tutorials. The tutorials will be held on July 19-20, 2014. Tutorials will be offered (both half-day and full-day) at introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels covering the entire spectrum of the conference.

All submitted abstracts will be peer-reviewed by three independent referees from the international program boards. It is anticipated that a broad range of research and applied topics will be covered during the conference. Papers in the theoretical category should deal with models, concepts, and structures; papers in the generic category should present research results of broad applicability; and papers in the applied category should show how the demands of particular application areas shape the way generic research is translated into practical innovation.

Submission Deadlines:
Abstract for Paper presentations: 15 Nov 2013
Abstract for Posters/demonstrations: 15 Apr 2014
Special interest groups: 15 Nov 2013
Tutorials: 15 Nov 2013

Student volunteers. The success of the conference depends on the diligent work of student volunteers. If you would like to help at the conference in return for waiver of the registration fee, please contact the Student Volunteer Chair, volunteer@ahfe.org

Exhibits provide state-of-the-art ergonomics products, systems and services for the users, professionals, and researchers in the AHFE field. Organizations interested in exhibiting or advertising in the Advance Program and/or Final Program should contact the Conference Exhibits Chair: Abbas Moallem, exhibits@ahfe.org

Exhibitors who have committed to exhibit by 16 May 2014 will be listed in the Advance Program, Final Program, and the Conference Proceedings which will be distributed worldwide.
