Mobile Exergaming Heuristics
… for designers. This work seeks to identify heuristics catered for mobile exergaming. This thesis presents four mobile exergaming heuristics were identified based on recent literature and on the author's mobile exergame design and development efforts: 1) Motivational game concepts that …

Intelligent Memory Management Heuristics
… collection and heap expansion. The resulting heuristics are tested empirically and shown to improve overall execution performance significantly in the context of the Jinni Prolog compiler's runtime system.

Inferring noncompensatory choice heuristics
… limitations, people frequently use simplifying heuristics for making quick yet accurate decisions. In this research, we apply discrete optimization to infer from observed data if a person is behaving in way consistent with a choice heuristic (e.g., a noncompensatory lexicographic decision rule). …

Entrepreneurial Heuristics and Serial Entrepreneurs
… papers. Paper 1, "Entrepreneurial Heuristics...", found that being mentored, rather than either having extensive higher education or more work experience, was primarily responsible for entrepreneurs acquiring the simplified decision rules (heuristics) that can be useful to them in …

Heuristics for use case descriptions.
Use cases, as part of the Unified Modelling Language, have become an industry standard. The major focus has been on the use case diagram. It is only recently that any detailed attention has been paid to the use case description. The description should be written in such a way as to make it …

Design heuristics : facilitating architectural thought
… use in these episodes which I define as 'design heuristics'. These can facilitate the early stages of the design process in several ways. First they can help set up a platform upon which designers can begin to operate, and which can become the catalyst for further development and refinement to …

Heuristics in Construction Project Management
… ability, decision makers typically employ heuristics, or rules of thumb to arrive at relatively quick answers. Heuristics are cognitive shortcuts that an individual employs to arrive at quick decisions (Goodwin et al., 2004). These heuristics are used in a variety of ways, ranging from …

Non-Unique oligonucleotide probe selection heuristics
… to be NP-hard. In this thesis, several novel heuristics are presented based on greedy strategy, genetic algorithms and evolutionary strategy respectively for the minimization problem arisen from the non-unique probe selection using the best-known ILP formulation. Experiment results show that …

Heuristics method for truck disassembly process
Product recovery is an interesting topic in nowadays especially in remanufacturing industries. Remanufacturers focus on product recovery because of some valuable parts can be used in remanufacturing processes. Disassembly is an important process that extract related valuable parts or subassemblies …

Heuristics for Improved Enterprise Intrusion Detection
… world, enterprise scale networks, we propose 5 heuristics supporting a three-pronged approach to the systematic evaluation of large intrusion detection logs. Primarily, we provide a set of algorithms to assist operations personnel in the daunting task of ensuring that no true attack goes …

Defending Deflationary Heuristics Against Hyperintensional Manoeuvres
`Deflationary heuristics' for deflating metaphysical disputes are prominent due to the work of Hirsch, Chalmers and Thomasson. Though these heuristics differ in detail, they work broadly on the same basis. They show that the disputants in a dispute agree on all extensional and intensional facts. …

Heuristics for laying out information graphs
The representation of information in modern database systems is complicated by the need to represent relationships among pieces of information. A natural representation for such databases is the information graph that associates the pieces of information with vertices in the graph and the …

Effects of Simultaneous Alarms on Resolution Heuristics
<p>Automated signaling systems are frequently used to direct operator attention to potential hazards. Although these automated systems can lead to enhanced human performance, factors such as degraded alarm signal reliability and lack of trust can undermine the potential benefits of automation …

Synthesis heuristics for large asynchronous sequential circuits
… resulting designs are generally not minimal, the heuristics are able to produce near-minimal solutions orders of magnitude more rapidly than the minimal algorithms. A method for specifying sequential circuit behavior is presented. Input-output sequences define submachines or modules. When properly …

Lifted Heuristics: Towards more scalable Planning Systems
… forward-chaining planning system which uses new heuristics and introduces novel pruning techniques which can solve problem instances which - until now - cannot be solved by contemporary planners due to grounding. State-of-the-art planning systems rely on grounding, enumerating all possible …

Learning task-oriented grasp heuristics from demonstration
… human demonstration to learn task-oriented grasp heuristics for a set of known objects in an unsupervised manner and defined a procedure to instantiate grasps from these learned models. Equating distinct motion profiles with the execution of distinct tasks, our approach leverages the motion during …
