This paper addresses the problem of interpretation task sharing between the central server and the remote wearable ECG recorder. Adaptive task sharing is presented as an alternative to the remote embedded and to the centralized interpretation commonly used today. The patient-dependent adaptation of the task sharing needs an extreme care, since it is advantageous only if based on medically justi...

As an economical, low-carbon and convenient travel model, bike-sharing has become common in many cities around the world. However, daily usage of shared bikes results dispatching problem, i.e., to specific destinations satisfy riding demands. The platform can hire riders as workers pay incentivize them accomplish tasks. there exist multiple competing for tasks, they may strategically report the...

Five billion people lack access to surgery, with the highest burden being in sub-Saharan Africa. As surgical workforce is crucial closing this gap, University of British Columbia collaborated Médecins Sans Frontières create and launch Essential Surgical Skills (ESS) task-sharing program, which consists online learning modules hands-on training. Our study aimed evaluate pilot program. This a mix...

The divergent predictions of 2 models of dual-task performance are investigated. The central bottleneck and central capacity sharing models argue that a central stage of information processing is capacity limited, whereas stages before and after are capacity free. The models disagree about the nature of this central capacity limitation. The central bottleneck model claims that central processin...
