AHFE International



Accelerating Open Access Science in Human Factors Engineering and Human-Centered Computing

Aims and scope



AHFE Open Access Proceedings Human publishes original articles on research and development efforts intended to promote the comprehensive integration of people, services and systems. The Proceedings addresses all aspects of  human, computer and systems integration, with a particular emphasis on AI in all domains of human activity, and on applications to industry, business, government, education, and everyday life. It attaches equal importance to human and artificial intelligence (AI), while also exploring key hardware, software and system interfaces in the technological and management processes for developing future engineering systems.

AHFE International offers a truly multidisciplinary platform for researchers and practitioners alike, discussing emerging issues in the field of integration of humans and engineering, with a special focus on (but not limited to) AI-based technologies. Its goal is to advance the theory and applications of human-AI systems collaboration, which taps into and expands on our knowledge of human-inspired design of intelligent systems. The Proceedings also examines the human dimension of everyday systems and products with applications across all domains of modern society.
