Call for Contribution: New Handbook of Human Factors in Consumer Product Design

Designing consumer products that satisfy human needs is not easy. However, the design process that involves application of human factors can reduce the risk of product failure, malfunction, accidents, and contribute to the success of the product while reducing overall cost associated with these factors. Nowadays, with the advance of technology and particularly with the miniaturization, the way in which people are interacting with consumer products is rapidly changing. The demand for new research in this constantly changing world of technology is growing very fast.

We are pleased to invite you to consider writing a chapter for the new Handbook of Human Factors in Consumer Product Design, a multivolume set, to be published by CRC Press - a Taylor & Francis Company. Your contribution may include new methods, techniques, software application, and theoretical mainstream regarding human factors/ergonomics in consumer product design.

If you would like to contribute, please send the proposed title (s) of your chapter(s) before October 31st, 2009, to Prof. Marcelo Soares (Email: Denne e-postadressen er beskyttet mot programmer som samler e-postadresser.
