This book provides an overview of the current state of research on development and application
of methods algorithms tools and systems associated with the studies on man-machine
interaction. Modern machines and computer systems are designed not only to process information
but also to work in dynamic environment supporting or even replacing human activities in areas
such as business industry medicine or military. The interdisciplinary field of research on
man-machine interactions focuses on broad range of aspects related to the ways in which human
make or use computational artifacts systems and infrastructure. This monograph is the fourth
edition in the series and presents new concepts concerning analysis design and evaluation of
man-machine systems. The selection of high-quality original papers covers a wide scope of
research topics focused on the main problems and challenges encountered within rapidly evolving
new forms of human-machine relationships. The presented material is structured into following
sections: human-computer interfaces robot control embedded and navigation systems bio-data
analysis and mining biomedical signal processing image and motion data processing decision
support and expert systems pattern recognition fuzzy systems algorithms and optimisation
computer networks and mobile technologies and data management systems.
