چکیده
The objective of this study was to examine the differences in mental workload to computer-based tasks between men and women. Twelve female and twelve male students participated in the study. They performed a modified mirror tracing task and a mental arithmetic task. Mental workload was measured by physiological variables, subjective measurement and behavioral performance. Results suggested the possibility that women have advantages over men with respect to mental workload tolerance.

Cycle time optimization could be one of the great challenges in business process management. Although there is much research on this subject, task similarities have been paid little attention. In this paper, a new approach is proposed to optimize cycle time by minimizing entropy of work lists in resource allocation while keeping workloads balanced. The idea of the entropy of work lists comes fr...
