Tutorials 300 words 1 December 2018 ** not applicable

All submissions should be done through our website: www.ahfe2019.org

To provide a greater opportunity for more people to present at the Conference, each accepted paper should have a different conference registrant. However, co-authors may appear on multiple papers. For written cancellations received on or before 1 February, 2019, 90% of all registration costs will be refunded. 50% of the registration cost will be refunded if a written cancellation is received between 2 February - 1 March, 2019. After this date submitted papers will be forwarded to the Publisher for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings and no refunds will be made for cancellations received after 1 March, 2019. All refunds are subject to $50 standard card processing fees.

All cancellations must be submitted to the Conference Administrator at registration@ahfe.org * If your submission was invited by a particular Session Chair, please mark as such and include their name when submitting.** Since frequently the intent of posters, presentations and Special interest groups (SIG) is to convey late-breaking scientific news and work in progress, they will be promptly peer reviewed as they are received.

You are cordially invited to participate in the 10th International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics 2019 and the Affiliated Conferences, to be held at Washington Hilton, Washington D.C., USA July 24-28, 2019. All distinguished Conferences are maintained jointly under one management and one registration. The conference objective is to provide an international forum for the dissemination and exchange of scientific information on theoretical, generic, and applied areas of human factors and ergonomics. These objectives will be accomplished through the following six modes of communication: keynote presentation, parallel sessions, demonstration and poster sessions, tutorials, exhibitions, and meetings of special interest groups. The five-day conference will start with tutorials. The tutorials will be held on July 24-25 2019. Tutorials will be offered at introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels covering the entire spectrum of the conference. All submitted abstracts will be peer-reviewed by three independent referees from the international program boards. Papers in the theoretical category should deal with models, concepts, and structures; papers in the generic category should present research results of broad applicability; papers in the applied category should show how the demands of particular application areas shape the way generic research is translated into practical innovation.

Parallel Presentations. An abstract of about 500 words should be submitted through our website (www.ahfe2019.org) and include a statement of the objective and significance of the proposed presentation, description of methods, and discussion of results.

Tutorials. An abstract of 300 words should state the objective, content, target audience, a bio-sketch about the presenter(s) and A/V requirements. Please submit the abstract through the AHFE2019 website. Poster/Demonstration Sessions. An abstract of 300 words should be submitted through the website and should include the essence ofthe planned presentation. Equipment needed for demonstration is the responsibility of the author.

Invitation to AHFE 2019

Washington D.C.

Founded on July 16, 1790, Washington D.C. is unique among American cities because it was established by the Constitution of the United States to serve as the nation’s capital. Monuments and memorials, eclectic neighborhoods, true local flavor - Washington D.C. is a place unlike any other. It’s your home away from home with free museums and America’s front yard. After more than 200 years as the nation’s capital, Washington has developed into a complex and layered city with a distinctive character: a town for locals, an international center of power and a fantastic place to visit.

AHFE International Conference Administrator admin@ahfe.org

Washington HiltonAHFE 2019 will be held at the Washington Hilton, Washington D.C., USA. Washington D.C. is an extraordinary city, a working federal town, an international metropolis, a picturesque tourist destination, an unmatched treasury of the country’s history and artifacts, and a cosmopolitan center that retains a friendly small-town ambiance. Much of the attractiveness of Washington can be attributed to the hundreds of outdoor sculptures and monuments that adorn the parks, gardens, buildings, avenues, and cemeteries of the city. A stay at the Washington Hilton places you in the heart of Washington. It is located minutes from The Phillips Collection and close to the White House, Ford’s Theater and the Lincoln Memorial.
