European Annual Conference on

Human Decision-Making and Manual Control

The first EAM was held in 1981. The idea was not new. At that moment the NASA-University Annual Conference on Manual Control, the Annual Manual, was already more than 15 years the yearly meeting for PhD students working in the field of Man-Machine Systems in the USA. The EAM not only focuses on manual control in the air- and space domain but also on road-vehicles, ships, medical systems, rehabilitation and process operator supervisory control.

Prof. H.G. Stassen (EAM 1995): "The essence of the conference was to create an opportunity for young researchers to discuss their work in an early stage of their project. The conference intends to be a platform to discuss in an informal way the projects rather than to present the results of an almost finished project. With this in mind, it was appreciated to see that some of the leading staff in Man-Machine System research were also participating, and, in this way, stimulating and initiating the discussions."

Prof. G. Johannsen (EAM 1997): "The conference continued the tradition established in 1981 in bringing together young researchers from different disciplines of the human-machine system field in an informal way. The conference aimed at providing a forum for extensive discussions of new and on-going work among the participants. Consequently, the conference was focussed on technical papers and planned ample time for presentation and discussion. We were able to preserve the atmosphere of informal conference among friends working towards the same goal - a better adaptation of technical systems to the human!"
