Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Human Systems Engineering and Design: Future Trends and Applications (IHSED 2020) which will be held at Juraj Dobrila University of Pula, Croatia, September 22-24, 2020.

This book reports on theoretical and practical findings intended to improve interaction and cooperation of systems with humans. It covers eight thematic research area’s: Human-Centered Design, Innovative Materials for Product Development, Systems Design and Human Diversity, Safety Engineering and Systems Complexity, Sports Design and Sports Medicine, Biomechanics, Health Disease and Rehabilitation, Human Cyber Physical Systems Interactions, Business, Design and Technology.

This book focuses on novel design and systems engineering approaches, including theories and best practices, for promoting a better integration of people and engineering systems. It covers a range of hot topics related to: development of activity-centered and user-centered systems; interface design and human-computer interaction; usability and user experience; cooperative, participatory and contextual models; emergent properties of human behavior; innovative materials in manufacturing, and many more. Particular emphasis is placed on applications in sports, healthcare, and medicine. 

The book, which gathers selected papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Human Systems Engineering and Design: Future Trends and Applications (IHSED 2020) which will be held at Juraj Dobrila University of Pula, Croatia, September 22-24, 2020, provides researchers, practitioners and program managers with a snapshot of the state-of-the-art and current challenges in the field of human systems engineering and design.
