Seventh Annual Conference on Manual ControlThe Seventh Annual NASA/AF/University Conference on Manual Control was held at the University of Southern California from June 2-4, 1971. Some eighty specialists, including colleagues from Canada, Netherlands and West Germany, attended the Conference, which was organized by the authors of this Summary. Generally at this conference there was less emphasis on theory and more on applications than at some previous meetings. In addition to the well-established areas of human operator modeling and display systems, this conference devoted considerable time to the extensions of manual control theory to such diverse areas as automobile driving, air traffic control and industrial management. This interest in meaningful applications of the existing theoretical knowledge in man-machine systems is encouraging and timely.
