Electronic instrument panel displays systems covers the many technical considerations of instrument panel display systems including brightness, contrast, temperature sensitivity, space requirements, color capabilities and human factors concepts. As part of the Progress in Technology Electronics Series, this book contains 40 technical papers written in the last eleven years on the progress of instrument panel displays and their corresponding electronic systems. Papers are grouped according to display technology and present the most recent advances in that area plus several of historical interest. Electronic Instrument Panel Display Systems is divided into ten sections: vacuum fluorescent displays; fluorescent indicator panels; liquid crystal displays; electroluminescent displays; light emitting diode displays; electroluminescent displays; light emitting diode displays; cathode ray tube displays; head up displays; virtual and holographic displays; reconfigurable displays; and human factors considerations.

This series provides a fast track for publication of suitable papers from international contributors. The papers are chosen on the basis of abstracts submitted to a selection pannel in the autumn prior to the conference. IN addition to mainstream ergonomists and human factor specialists, contemporary ergonomicswill appeal to all those who have an interest in peoples interaction with their working and leisure environment including: designers, manufacturing and production engineers, health and safety specialists, organisational, applied and engineering psychologists.

This two-volume-set constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Future Information Technology, FutureTech 2011, held in Crete, Greece, in June 2011. The 123 revised full papers presented in both volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on future information technology, IT service and cloud computing; social computing, network, and services; forensics for future generation communication environments; intelligent transportation systems and applications; multimedia and semantic technologies; information science and technology.
