                     14th Mini-EURO Conference
                        ****  HCP'2003  ****
                      Human Centered Processes
        Distributed decision making and man-machine cooperation
                            5-7 May 2003
                             Luxembourg

****  Objectives ****

The Commission of the European Union, in its forthcoming sixth
framework Programme, specifically recognizes the necessity to place
human beings at the centre of future development of the
knowledge-based society and more specifically the emerging
e-government. In addition, a EURO working group on Human Centered
Processes has recently been created in order to tackle the study of
operational strategies and processes used by people in professional
contexts (http://www-hcp.enst-bretagne.fr/).

Such problems represent important challenges for both public
administrations and commercial firms. More generally, the analysis and
study of distributed decision making and man-machine cooperation
requires a multi-disciplinary approach involving cognitive psychology,
operational research, cognitive science and domain expertise. Indeed,
cognitive design and implementation approaches can complement more
traditional frameworks. They may allow design and analysis of more
complete, complex, robust and secure systems involving experienced
users with specific domain expertise as well as common users.

**** Purpose ****

The purpose of this conference is to bring together:

Practitioners from industry and administration who are confronted with
issues related to cognition and domain expertise and computer assisted
collaborative work,

Researchers who have expertise in Cognitive Psychology or more
generally Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence and Computer
Science,

Operational Researchers interested in discussing human centred
approaches applied to complex industrial and administrative problems.

In view of this, the Conference focuses on practical application
oriented themes where human centered approaches have already shown
their usefulness including planning, scheduling, decision making,
quality control, project and risk management, intelligent management
of multimedia documents, e-commerce and e-government.

Three plenary sessions with invited guest speakers such as Ola Svenson
(S) and Paul Slovic (USA) are planned.

Four half-day symposiums dedicated to special sessions on
multi-criteria decision aid, decision support systems and ethics in OR
are foreseen.
