Human Factors Society

The Human Factors Society was

elected as an affiliate at the AAAS an-

nual meeting in Berkeley, California,December 1965. The Society is a pro-fessional, nonprofit organization found-ed in 1957 with the following objectives:(i) To increase knowledge about man

in relation to machines and working en-

vironments; (ii) to promote the appli-cation of human factors knowledge tothe design of systems and devices ofall kinds; and (iii) to provide for theexchange of ideas among specialists en-

gaged in developing and applying hu-man factors information. The Societymeets these objectives through its pub-lications, meetings, and local chapteractivities.The annual dues include a subscrip-

tion to the following three publicationswhich are sent to each member.Human Factors, the bi-monthly jour-

nal of the Society, publishes a widerange of original papers. These articlescontain experimental, analytical, andmethodological studies relative to theknowledge of man in relation to ma-

chines and environmental factors. Typ-ical areas which are covered in thesearticles are: visual displays, effects ofvibration on human performance, an-

thropometry, human factors in systemsengineering, evaluation and preventionof human errors, and man as a con-

troller. Frequently an entire issue ofHuman Factors will be devoted to a

single topic, such as man-in-space orvision. These issues soon become stand-ard reference documents.The Human Factors Society Bulletin,.

issued monthly, contains news of thehuman factors profession and people,a calendar of meetings and conferences,announcements of new publications, andlistings of employment opportunities.The Bulletin also reports Society andlocal chapter activities, elections, andother items of business.The Directory, published annually

with an updated semi-annual appendix,contains a biographical list of memberscross-referenced by state and employer.Society and local chapter officers arelisted and analyses of membershipcomposition, summaries of local chapteractivities, and the by-laws of the So-ciety are included.The annual meeting of the Society,

held for three days in late autumn ata different location each year, is opento members and all other interestedpersons. In addition to the businessmeetings, technical sessions are heldfeaturing invited addresses, individualresearch papers, panel discussions, sym-posia, and working conferences. The1966 annual meeting will be held in LosAngeles at the Disneyland Hotel, 1-4November. The 1967 convention isscheduled for Boston, Massachusetts.

Throughout the country local orga-nizations affiliated with the national So-ciety provide continuing opportunitiesfor professional activities through theirprograms, meetings, and publications.California Chapters are located in LosAngeles, Sacramento, San Diego, andthe San Francisco Bay Area. TheSouthern Ohio Chapter serves the Day-ton-Columbus-Cincinnati area, and theNorth Texas Chapter serves Dallas andFort Worth. The Metropolitan Chapteris located in New York City. During1965 three new local chapters were in-stalled in Huntsville, Alabama; Boston,Massachusetts (New England Chapter);and Seattle, Washington (Puget SoundChapter).

Most of the local chapters meetmonthly and often hold joint meetingswith local groups of other societies suchas the ASME, IEEE, and AIAA ontopics of mutual interest. A number oflocal chapters have held joint meetingsincluding a yearly full-day symposiumsponsored by the four California chap-ters at a central location.

There are three categories of mem-bership in the Human Factors Society.Member. Any person having a bach-

IMPRACTICALTO EXPERIMENTWITHTHE REALTHING?SIMULATE.FREE REPORTS FROM EAI

SHOWYOU HOWIn the Life Sciences it's not always practicalor even possible to experiment with thereal thing. That's why researchers and edu-cators are turning to the Analog Computerto dynamically simulate living systems. Adynamic model is easier and more conven-

ient to experiment with. You build a mathe-matical model of the living system eitherfrom analytical analysis or empirical in-sights. All this without the dangers anddifficulty of experimenting with a livingsystem. The Analog Computer is also find-ing increased use in instrumentation andautomatic on-line signal processing.

Associate. Any person interested oractive in the human factors field butwho does not qualify for membership iseligible for election to the grade of as-sociate of the Society. Dues for associ-ates are also $15.

Sustaining Member. Any person, cor-poration, or organization contributingto the Society an amount prescribed bythe Executive Council, but in no caseless than $100, is eligible for electionto sustaining membership.The combined membership of the

Society now exceeds 1400 and rep-resents over 20 professional disciplines.The largest percentage of the membersis from the following specialties: Psy-chology, education, sociology, statistics,engineering, physics, mathematics, in-dustrial design, physiology, medicine,anthropology, and biology.

Election of officers is held annually.However, the offices are established sothat each officer is a member of theExecutive Council for a 3-year pe-riod. Current officers of the Society are:President, Ezra V. Saul (Tufts Univer-sity); president-elect, Stanley Lippert(Douglas Aircraft Company); past pres-ident, Julian M. Christensen (AerospaceMedical Research Labs.); secretary-treasurer, Stuart 0. Parsons (LockheedMissiles & Space Company); secretary-treasurer elect, Jack A. Kraft (LockheedMissiles & Space Company); and pastsecretary-treasurer, Charles A. Baker(Honeywell Regulator Company). Theexecutive council consists of: RenatoContini (New York University); Stan-ley Deutsch (National Aeronautics &Space Administration); Joseph W. Wul-feck (Dunlap & Associates, Inc.); Al-phonse Chapanis (Johns Hopkins Uni-versity); John Lyman (University ofCalifornia, Los Angeles); and StanleyN. Roscoe (Hughes Aircraft Company).The publications board consists of AlanA. Burrows (Douglas Aircraft Com-pany); Wesley E. Woodson (Convair-San Diego); and Joseph L. Seminara(Lockheed Missiles & Space Company).

Appointed officers include publica-tion editors, committee chairmen andthe new AAAS Council representative,H. Wallace Sinaiko (Institute for De-fense Analysis).
