Abstract

[Extract] Welcome to this special issue of the IISE Transactions on Occupational Ergonomics and Human Factors! Our primary motivations in developing this issue were the emerging concepts of Ergonomics 4.0 and 5.0 in Human Factors and Ergonomics within the wider frameworks of Industry 4.0 and 5.0; specifically, clarifying their paradigms and contributing to the understanding of how, and if, digital human modeling plays a role in these concepts.

Papers for this special issue mostly originated in the Digital Human Modeling and Simulation (DHMS) track at the International Ergonomics Association (IEA) triennial world congress in Vancouver, Canada (IEA2021). The aim of the DHMS sessions at this congress was to present the latest developments in DHM with a focus on the conference theme, “HFE in a Connected World – L’ergonomie 4.0.” Participants at IEA2021 were able to make shortened submissions to the conference in view of an expression of interest for a full paper submission to this special issue. The IEA DHMS scientific committee members then invited selected authors to make such a submission to this special issue.
