Driving is a complex psychomotor task often interrupted by secondary activities that increase cognitive workload and divert attention away from the roadway. The risk of inattentive driving is known to vary with age. To assess the characteristics of advancing age on driver's cognitive workload under dual task condition, we evaluate the performance of 96 drivers divided into three age groups: 20's, 40's, and 60's. This study considers driver's cognitive workload in the context of urban and highway driving. Error rate & Dual task cost are used to measure driver's cognitive workload. Results indicate that age impacts cognitive workload during dual task driving conditions.

항해사의 업무수행도 감소는 해양사고 발생의 주요 원인 중의 하나로 자주 언급되고 있다. 인터뷰와 항해 기록분석을 통한 선원의 작업시간 분석에 대한 연구는 일부를 수행되었으나, 작업부하, 작업교대, 스트레스, 수면 등이 선원의 인지능력에 미치는 영향을 분석한 사례 매우 한정적이다. 항공, 철도와 같은 다른 운송 산업에서는 승무원의 근무 패턴을 관리하기 위한 피로관리 도구를 개발하고 있고 있는데, 이러한 도구들은 선원, 항해사 및 육상관리자의 효율적인 근무일정을 계획하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 항해사의 인지능력을 평가하기 위해, 해상 충돌상황에서의 종합적 대응능력을 평가할 수 있는 소프트웨어 프로그램을 개발하였다. 항해 전문가를 대상으로 한 실험을 통하여, 평가기준을 개발하였으며, 실습 항해사를 대상으로 하여 시스템에 대한 검증이 이루어졌다. 본 시스템은 선박운항 시 충돌사고를 회피하기 위한 항해사의 인지능력을 평가할 수 있으므로, 당직 전 혹은 승선 전에 짧은 시간 동안의 평가를 통하여 항해사의 전반적 인지능력을 평가하고, 이 결과를 항해사에게 경고메시지 형태로 전달할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 최근에 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있는 상황인지 무선시스템을 대상으로 하여, 직접 경로 및 간접 경로를 갖는 협동 다이버시티를 적용하였을 경우 시스템의 성능을 분석하였다. 그리고 릴레이-목적지 경로에서는 여러 개 의 릴레이 중 가장 큰 신호 대 잡음비를 갖는 릴레이만 송신하는 선택 릴레이 방식을 채택하였고, 이 릴레이를 선택하기 위하여 필수적으로 발생되는 채널 상태정보(CSI) 지연에 의한 시스템 성능의 열화를 포함한 식을 유도하였다. 분석결과 직접 경로로부터의 수신 전력이 간접경로 수신 전력의 1/10만 있어도 시스템의 성능이 4.4 dB 개선되므로 Rayleigh 페이딩 환경 하에서 협동 다이버시티의 적용이 매우 효과적임을 알 수 있었고, 상황 인지 시스템의 주파수 획득 확률이 적을수록, 그리고 채널 지연이 클수록 시스템의 성능은 저하되었다.

Interpersonal trust has become essential for online communities because people have managed to be in a situation without face-to-face encounters. To identify the structural relationships between interpersonal trust and learning performance, we analyzed the relationship between two types of trust, namely, cognitive and affective, as well as two dimensions of learning performance, namely, learning satisfaction and knowledge application. We also identified the moderating role of social norms in the relationship between trust and learning performance. Results of analysis are as follows. First, cognitive trust significantly affected the two dimensions of performance. Second, affective trust exhibited a significant effect on learning satisfaction, but did not affect knowledge application. Third, the relationships between the two performance factors were significant and direct. Lastly, social norms appeared to moderate the effects of cognitive trust on knowledge application and affective trust on satisfaction. These findings suggest that organizations, which would like to optimize task-oriented performance of their learning communities, should consider linking strategies between community satisfaction and practical knowledge application.

In this study, changes in memory performance, blood oxygen saturation and heart rate according to 30% concentration oxygen supply were observed. Ten healthy male and female college students (male:$25.8{\pm}0.8$ years, female: $24.2{\pm}1.9$ years) participated in the study. The experiment was performed as Rest (1min.), Control task (1min.), Word presentation (1min.), Reaction time task (1min.), Distractor (2min.), and Word recall (1min.) and the physiological signals such as blood oxygen saturation and heart rate were measured throughout the stages. Subjects who received 30% oxygen recalled more words than those who received 21% oxygen, which shows 30% oxygen supply has influenced positively on memory cognitive performance. When 30% concentration oxygen is supplied, the blood oxygen saturation in the task phases was increased and the heart rate decreased when comparing to 21%. It means that 30% oxygen can stimulate brain activation by increasing actual blood oxygen concentration in the process of cognitive performance, and the heart rate decreases because enough oxygen is supplied to process the cognitive performance.

A comprehension-based computational model of pilot action planning called ADAPT is presented to model pilot performance in a flight simulation context. Individual pilots were asked to execute a series of flight maneuvers using a flight simulator, and their eye-scanning, control movements, and flight performance were recorded in a time-synched database. Computational models of each of the 25 individual pilots were constructed, and the individual models simulated execution of the same flight maneuvers performed by human pilots. The time-synched eye-scanning, control movements, and flight performance of individual pilots and their respective models were compared to test ADAPT's predictive validity.

Cognitive radio (CR) is considered one of the most promising next-generation communication systems; it has the ability to sense and make use of vacant channels that are unused by licensed users. Reliable detection of the licensed users' signals is an essential element for a CR network. Cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) is able to offer better sensing performance as compared to individual sensing. The presence of malicious users who falsify sensing data can severely degrade the sensing performance of the CSS scheme. In this paper, we investigate a secure CSS scheme, based on the Kullback-Leibler Divergence (KL-divergence) theory, in order to identify malicious users and mitigate their harmful effect on the sensing performance of CSS in a CR network. The simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

In this paper, we evaluate performance of a hybrid decode-amplify-forward relaying protocol in underlay cognitive radio. In the proposed protocol, a secondary relay which is chosen by partial relay selection method helps a transmission between a secondary source and a secondary destination. In particular, if the chosen relay decodes the secondary source's signal successfully, it will forward the decoded signal to the secondary destination. Otherwise, it will amplify the signal received from the secondary source and will forward the amplified signal to the secondary destination. We evaluate the performance of our scheme via theory and simulation. Results show that the proposed protocol outperforms the amplify-and-forward and decode-and-forward protocols in terms of outage probability.

Cognitive radio (CR) technique is a useful tool for improving spectrum utilization by detecting and using the vacant frequency bands while avoiding interference to the primary user. The sensing performance in a CR network can be improved by allowing some CR users to perform cooperative spectrum sensing. In this paper, we propose a new sensing algorithm that utilizes an adaptive energy threshold for cooperative spectrum sensing in which a changeable energy threshold is adopted by the CR users for improving local sensing performance. Through the proposed scheme, the reliability of global decision can be enhanced mainly due to the improvement in local sensing performance.

For the purpose of enhancing the spectrum efficiency, cognitive radio (CR) technology has been recently proposed as a promising dynamic spectrum allocation paradigm. In CR, spectrum sensing is the key capability of secondary users in a cognitive radio network that aims for reducing the probability of harmful interference with primary users. However, the individual CRs might not be able to carry out reliable detection of the presence of a primary radio due to the impact of channel fading or shadowing. This paper studies the cooperative spectrum sensing scheme as means of optimizing the sensing performance in AWGN and Rayleigh channels. Results generated from simulation provide evidence of the impact of channel condition on the complementary receiver operating characteristic (ROC). Based on the results, it was found that with constant local SNRs at the secondary users, the probability of missed detection ($P_m$) of cooperative spectrum sensing in a cognitive radio network, calculated using a closed form expression, can be significantly minimized. Thus, the paper illustrates that improvement of the detection performance of the CR network can be achieved by establishing a centralized cooperation among neighboring cognitive radio users. Finally, verification of the validity of the fusion schemes utilized for combining the individual CR decisions is provided.
