This book focuses on computational modeling and simulation research that advances the current
state-of-the-art regarding human factors in this area. 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 including surgery military operations
occupational safety sports training education transportation and robotics. Based on the AHFE
2018 International Conference on Human Factors in Simulation and Modeling held on July 21-25
2018 in Orlando Florida USA the book serves 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.
