This book focuses on computational modeling and simulation research that advances the current
state-of-the-art regarding human factors in simulation and applied digital human modeling. It
reports on cutting-edge simulators such as virtual and augmented reality on multisensory
environments and on modeling and simulation methods used in various applications such as
surgery military operations occupational safety sports training education transportation
and robotics. Based on the AHFE 2017 International Conference on Human Factors in Simulation
and Modeling held on July 17-21 2017 in Los Angeles California USA the book is intended
as a timely reference guide for researchers and practitioners developing new modeling and
simulation tools for analyzing or improving human performance. It also offers a unique resource
for modelers seeking insights into human factors research and more feasible and reliable
computational tools to foster advances in this exciting research field.
