AdaTAD - a debugger for the Ada multi-task environment
… that it supports concurrent programming via its "task" compilation unit. There are not, however, any automated tools to aid in locating errors in the tasks. The design for such a tool is presented. The tool is named AdaTAD and is a debugger for programs written in Ada. The features of AdaTAD are …

Uncertainty in task environment and causes of leadership succession: A decision process approach
Existing theories of executive succession, i.e., micro economic theory, managerial theory, power-political theory and contingency theory are critically reviewed and a decision process model of executive succession is proposed as an alternative. The strength of each model was tested using the sample …

Organisational climate: variance across functional units
… approaches. Both emphasize the importance of the task environment and the need for the organization to adapt to its task environment. Systems theorists, Katz and Kahn (1978), have identified a number of organizational components or subsystems which enable the organization to function efficiently. …

Assessing Negative Side Effects in Virtual Environments
Virtual environment (VE) systems have been touted as exciting new technologies with many varied applications. Today VEs are used in telerobotics, training, simulation, medicine, architecture, and entertainment. The future use of VEs seems limited only by the creativity of its designers. However, as …

Processing Phenomena and the Dissociation Between Subjective and Objective Workload Measures (Cognition, Automaticity, Verbal Reports)
… were investigated. A Sternberg memory search task was utilized. Sternberg task configurations varied in the automaticity of performance, stimulus presentation rate, discernability of stimuli, and the value of good performance. Automaticity in Sternberg task performance was manipulated by using …

Effects of display contrast and field of view on distance perception
… today do not allow the operator to view the environment directly. For example, operators of telerobotic or remote manipulation systems may be far removed from the work site. In these situations, images from cameras at the task site provide the only visual link between the task and operator. …

Promoting flexible idea generation in audit planning: the effects of counterfactual mindset and example provision
… Framework, I identify significant differences in task, environment, and person variables across real world scenarios where the auditors found it was either very easy or very difficult to know when sufficient audit evidence had been collected prior to forming a conclusion. In a second study, I run …
