  • Collaborative Metacognition and Decision Making in a Signal Detection Task

    Creator:
    Duncan-Reid, Jackson
    Abstract:
    When decision makers work collaboratively, their combined performance can exceed the performance of even the best group member working alone. However, despite the potential for performance gains when working in a group, collaborating individuals often show poor coordination and losses of motivation, and are generally inefficient at combining their resources...

  • The effect of acquisition and analysis automation failure in a low-fidelity multitasking system

    Creator:
    Secor, William R.
    Abstract:
    Research into the effect of automation on human multitasking performance is primarily focused on Decision Automation (a machine suggesting a certain course of action for a human operator to take) and Action Automation (a machine carrying out a certain course of action on behalf of the human operator) while Acquisition...

  • Inspiring End-user Programming Through Exposure to Multi-platform Computing and Improved Integrated Development Environments

    Creator:
    Beardsley, Dedrie
    Abstract:
    The art of software engineering inherently requires high-level problem solving and perseverance, as programmers and designers wrestle with complex design and implementation challenges in the process of turning loose concepts and ideas into working code. In the current developer ecosystem, engineers are commonly incentivized extrinsically by monetary rewards, approval or...

  • Network coding for sensor networks, distributed storage and video streaming

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Kien Trung
    Abstract:
    The classical store-and-forward routing has and will continue to be the most important routing architecture in many modern packet-switched communication networks. In a packet-switched network, data is sent in the form of discrete packets that traverse hop-by-hop from a source to a destination. At each intermediate hop, the router stores...

  • A high power emulation of a wind farm

    Creator:
    Lalla, Chelsea
    Abstract:
    As more wind farms are connected to the grid, the variable nature of wind energy begins to influence grid stability. Energy storage could help smooth the variable nature of wind energy. Laboratory demonstration and exploration of the interaction between different energy storage devices and wind energy could help improve and...

  • Automation-Aided Collaborative Strategies in Signal Detection Tasks

    Creator:
    Duncan-Reid, Jackson
    Abstract:
    Automated systems have become increasingly important to human decision making and task performance in a wide variety of complex fields and situations. Decision aids, a specific form of automation, assist human operators in making complex decisions under conditions of uncertainty, such as air traffic control or combat identification. When humans...

  • Evaluation of Cycling Behavior: Factors that Influence Bicyclists’ Comprehension, Comfort, and Stress

    Creator:
    Cobb, Douglas P.
    Abstract:
    Travel demand has increased due to population growth, increase of vehicle ownership, and development patterns resulting in greater levels of congestion, pollution, and crash frequency. One approach to demand management is to increase the share of trips made by bicycles. With the increase in bicycling rates, there is a critical...
