*_Abstract_*

This lecture will review the history of human-system modeling and pose 
several challenges for the future. Many of the human-system models in 
use today emerged from government sponsored research by the military and 
NASA in problems such as control, communication, signal detection and 
decision-making. Current modeling challenges in industry, government and 
health care include human-computer cooperation and allocation of 
function between human operators and automation. In the future 
human-system engineering models will have to combine the language and 
scientific knowledge from both physical science and human science 
disciplines, which thus far has not been very successful.  Further, we 
need to find ways by which models can interact, both in their 
development and their use, with a much broader swath of society than 
just engineers.

*_Biographical Sketch_*

Dr. Sheridan is a Professor of Engineering and Applied Psychology 
Emeritus in the departments of Mechanical Engineering and 
Aeronautics/Astronautics at MIT. He and his students have contributed to 
modeling human performance, human-automation interaction, telerobotics, 
virtual reality and safety though over 200 technical papers and five 
books.  Dr. Sheridan was President of Human Factors and Ergonomic 
Society and the Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society (IEEE) and has 
various awards from these as well as from the American Society of 
Mechanical Engineers, the International Ergonomics Association and the 
American Institute of Engineering Societies. He has chaired or served on 
numerous committees of the National Research Council. He has a ScD from 
MIT and an honorary doctorate from Delft University of Technology, 
Netherlands. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 
1995. He is a Purdue graduate.
