Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Man-Machine-Environment System Engineering

This research topic was first established in China by Professor Sheng Zhao Long in 1981, with direct support from one of the greatest modern Chinese scientists, XueSen Qian. In a letter to Sheng Zhao Long from October 22nd, 1993, XueSen Qian wrote: You have created a very important modern science subject and technology in China! .§§MMESE primarily focuses on the relationship between Man, Machine and Environment, studying the optimum combination of man-machine-environment systems. In this system, Man refers to working people as the subject in the workplace (e.g. operators, decision-makers); Machine is the general name for any object controlled by Man (including tools, machinery, computers, systems and technologies) and Environment describes the specific working conditions under which Man and Machine interact (e.g. temperature, noise, vibration, hazardous gases etc.). The three goals of optimization are to ensure safety, efficiency and economy. These proceedings are an academic showcase of the best papers selected from more than 400 submissions, introducing readers to the top research topics and the latest developmental trends in the theory and application of MMESE.§§These proceedings are interdisciplinary studies on the concepts and methods of physiology, psychology, system engineering, computer science, environment science, management, education and other related disciplines. Researchers and professionals who study an interdisciplinary subject crossing above disciplines or researchers on MMESE subject will be mainly benefited from these proceedings.§
