Synthesizing basic results on how to design human work with complex systems, Joint Cognitive Systems: Patterns in Cognitive Systems Engineering provides examples of successful cognitive systems engineering research and design. It covers patterns in how joint cognitive systems work and those that have emerged from research and design in this field.

Synthesizing basic results on how to design human work with complex systems, this work provides examples of successful cognitive systems engineering research and design. It discusses basic findings or control laws that determine the behavior and performance of joint systems. It also explores how to design joint coverage systems.

Offering an introduction to Resilience Engineering of systems, this book provides insights into system safety as an aggregate of its various components, subsystems, software, organizations, human behaviours, and the way in which they interact. It is intended for safety managers and engineers, security experts, and others.
