“How do people make choices?” “How can we help them make better choices?” It’s helpful to have compact, coherent answers to these questions if we want to build recommender systems that support choice processes. This talk begins with a brief summary of the ASPECT and ARCADE models (introduced in “Choice Architecture for Human-Computer Interaction”), which answer these questions. It then uses thi...

O Plan is an AI planning architecture which supports research into a number of aspects of planning scheduling and control It is based on earlier work on the O Plan System which was directed towards plan generation The pa per explores the di erent types of choice or dering decisions which need to be made in an architecture for command and control The mechanisms for choice ordering and selection ...

In this thesis, a scalable interconnection architecture for many-core systems is proposed and the tradeoffs in the design of this architecture are described. Using this model we investigate how the other aspects of network architecture like routing strategy, routing algorithms, buffer space and traffic pattern impact the performance of interconnection network. This report also discusses the sim...

test method facet is one of the factors which can have an influence on the test takers’ performance. the purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of two different response types, multiple-choice cloze and multiple-choice test, on the pre-intermediate and intermediate test takers’ reading comprehension performance. to this end, 40 pre-intermediate and intermediate learners par...

this paper investigates the multi-band ofdm (mb-ofdm) based physical (phy) layer proposal for ieee 802.15.3a working group on short-range high data-rate ultra-wide-band (uwb) communications. an overview of the mb-ofdm phy layer architecture with its various parameters is presented and the optimal choice of critical parameters is discussed. next, we derive the theoretical un-coded bit error rate...
