This study examines concept mapping as a follow-up study strategy for learning from text. Based on a task analysis of the sub-tasks learners must accomplish during mapping, we developed the following support measures: Participants (N = 102) either generated a map (1) from scratch (map-generation), (2) from a list of concepts (concepts-provided), (3) from spatially arranged concepts (concepts-ar...

The goal of our project is to create a set of next-generation cyber situational-awareness capabilities with applications to other domains in the long term. The objective is to improve the decision-making process to enable decision makers to choose better actions. To this end, we put extensive effort into making certain that we had feedback from network analysts and managers and understand what ...

Accurate task perception is an important prerequisite for self-regulated learning. The present study explores if 12-grade high school students (N=131) adapt their task definitions, goals and plans to task complexity when confronted with six differently complex tasks and if this process is related to their epistemic beliefs. Results indicate that students successfully discriminate between tasks ...

One fiber radio scheme using shifted prime codes for interference elimination is proposed for optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) network. By taking advantage of the cyclic property of the shifted prime codes in the same code groups, the proposed compact decoder is low cost and suitable to be used in the task manager node in the applications of wireless sensor networks. The performanc...

This paper presents some enhancements in the temporal reasoning of a Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planner, named SIADEX, that, up to authors knowledge, no other HTN planner has. These new features include a sound partial order metric structure, deadlines, temporal landmarking or synchronization capabilities built on top of a Simple Temporal Network [3].

This article examines the relationships among task goal clarity, task significance, and individual-level task performance. While both goals and task significance are important in extant public-management research, a theoretical integration of the variables is needed. This study makes the theoretical contribution of explaining how these variables might work together in a public organization. In ...

It is well recognised that task analysis and modelling are complementary to object oriented software development. While the latter has gained widespread use, the adoption of the former is still rare in industry. We argue that while good methodologies are important, they are not sufficient by themselves to ensure their rapid adoption. What is also needed are tools which will mediate the implemen...
