A Transformation-based Approach to Building Multi-Platform User Interfaces Using a Task Model and the User Interface Markup Language
… UIs (MPUIs) are identified and specified. A task model, which is an abstract representation of the tasks that users perform with a system, is used as a high-level platform-independent specification for representing UIs for multiple platforms. The task model is supplemented with additional …

Task modeling and assessment for human-system interaction in freight rail operations
… to better understand the impact of different task allocations, or configurations of tasks, among the human and automation agents. The technical objective of this thesis was to investigate whether the workload of the locomotive engineer could be predicted from a task model of the role of the …

Reverse Engineering End-user Developed Web Applications into a Model-based Framework
… include a sitemap, text documentation, a task model, and a canonical representation of the user interface. The sitemap is automatically generated to support the workflow of web developers. The text documentation of a web application is generated to document data representation and business …

Parallelizing Trusted Execution Environments for Multicore Hard Real-Time Systems
… scheduling policies. This thesis provides a new task model and scheduling approach, Split-TEE task model and a scheduling approach ST-EDF. It also presents simulation results for 2 previously proposed approaches to scheduling TEEs, T-EDF and CT-RM.

Model based approach for context aware and adaptive user interface generation
… life cycle is studied and we define a context model on top of task model to introduce the contextual conditions into user interface generation process. Using the context model, user interface designer can specify contextual requirements and its effect on the user interface. Third, context aware …

An Integrated Real-Time and Security Scheduling Framework for CPS
… we propose a new real-time security co-design task model, and an accompanying scheduling framework, where schedulability can be used to indicate whether both real-time and security requirements are met. Our algorithm is designed to be flexible, allowing different security mechanisms to be used …

Variational Multi-Task Models for Image Analysis: Applications to Magnetic Resonance Imaging
… and development of several variational multi-task models for solving inverse problems in imaging, with a particular focus on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In most image processing problems, one usually deals with the reconstruction task, i.e., the task of reconstructing an image from …

Improving target acquisition in Web applications with link prediction
… on hyperlinks and buttons to complete frequent tasks. Individual application developers can optimize their interfaces to improve typical usage; however, no single task model will accurately reflect the needs of a wide audience of users. This thesis describes EasyLink, an automated optimization …

Design and verification of situation-aware real-time systems
… well-defined and operates based on a specific model defined during system design. However, the RTS can interact with different objects from its environment and needs to satisfy a number of user-defined constraints such as safety (defined using the probability of failure) and performance …

The experience of drug loss among college students in treatment for cannabis abuse
… have discontinued the use of cannabis. Worden's Task Model of Grief and Attachment Theory were used as the theoretical frameworks to guide this in-depth study of six college students who have discontinued the use of cannabis. The conceptual focus of the study was to explore the nature of the …

Potential relations between extraversion and cardiovascular reactivity during laboratory stressors
… a social challenge than to a mundane non-social task, with introverts exhibiting greater reactivity to both tasks than extraverts. In contrast, a preferred task model would hypothesize that extraverts would be more reactive during a non-social task than introverts and that introverts would be …

Scheduling Distributed Real-Time Tasks in Unreliable and Untrustworthy Systems
… consider scheduling distributed soft real-time tasks in unreliable (e.g., those with arbitrary node and network failures) and untrustworthy systems (e.g., those with Byzantine node behaviors). We present a distributed real-time scheduling algorithm called Gamma. Gamma considers a distributed …

Supernumerary Robotic Limbs : task planning, execution, and prediction-based coordination with the human wearer
Full automation of repetitive and/or specialized tasks has become a preferred means to meet the needs of manufacturing industries. However, some tasks cannot be fully automated due to their complexity or the nature of the work environment. In such cases, semi-automation through human-robot …

Design Space Exploration for Embedded Systems in Automotives
… this dissertation is the reliable mapping of a task model onto a given architecture, such that the end-to-end latency requirements are satisfied. This avoids costly redesign and redevelopment due to system design errors.

INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN IMPULSIVE ACTION AND TEMPORAL ESTIMATION: INTERACTION WITH THE SEROTONIN (5-HT) 5-HT2A RECEPTOR
… remain largely unknown, although rodent models of distinct forms of impulsivity, such as impulsive action, have facilitated identification of several neural pathways (e.g., prefrontal cortex, PFC) and neurotransmitter systems (e.g., serotonin, 5-HT) that regulate impulsive action. …

Remote robotic manipulation task execution using affordance primitives
… of environments to do an increasing number of tasks. Often the goal is for these robots to operate with as little human intervention as possible, and this remains a challenge for tasks that involve sustained physical interaction between the robot and environment. The problems compound if the …

End-to-end deep reinforcement learning in computer systems
… in applied RL is hindered by a lack of tools for task model design which bridge the gap between systems and algorithms, and also by missing shared standards for evaluation of model capabilities. I introduce Wield, a first-of-its-kind tool for incremental model design in applied RL. Wield provides …

Scientific Workflow Integration For Services Computing
… enable them composed to workflows, we propose a task template model which not only provides an appropriate abstraction of heterogeneous services and applications, but also encapsulates the composition and mapping of shims and functional task components within a task interface. Our proposed task …
