The More Closely we are Watched, the Better we Behave
Transparency is a complex issue, which can be approached from many angles and with various conceptual tools. This contribution provides a brief survey of the economic literature on transparency. The conceptual tool that economists use is the principal-agent model, a game-theoretic setting where a principal (the citizens, shareholders, etc) wants an agent (the government, the CEO, etc.) to perfo...
متن کاملIncreasing Visual Search Accuracy by Being Watched
In daily life, huge costs can arise from just one incorrect performance on a visual search task (e.g., a fatal accident due to a driver overlooking a pedestrian). One potential way to prevent such drastic accidents would be for people to modify their decision criterion (e.g., placing a greater priority on accuracy rather than speed) during a visual search. The aim of the present study was to ma...
متن کاملWatched Literals for Constraint Propagation in Minion
Efficient constraint propagation is crucial to any constraint solver. We show that watched literals, already a great success in the propositional satisfiability community, can also be used to provide highly efficient implementations of constraint propagators. We describe in detail three important aspects of watched literals as we apply them to constraints, and we describe how they are implement...
متن کاملWatched Data Structures for QBF Solvers
In the last few years, we have seen a tremendous boost in the efficiency of SAT solvers, this boost being mostly due to Chaff. Chaff owes some of its efficiency to its “two-literal watching” data structure. In this paper we present watched data structures for Quantified Boolean Formula (QBF) satisfiability solvers. In particular, we propose (i) two Chaff-like literal watching schemes for unit c...
متن کاملYou are being watched. Do you care?
In Human-Computer Interaction and Computer Science, usability study is an indication of the interaction between human being with a computer program or a web interface. Recent studies regarding the usability testing and evaluation indicate that observation is one of the most important tools for evaluating usability. This includes active and passive observation. However, observation is a tool whi...
