This study compares avatar-based chatting and text-based chatting. The comparison focuses on the effect of different chatting methods on user perception such as flow, social presence, and media richness. Especially the effects of avatar are examined across varying task types-work-oriented and fun-oriented. To accomplish this objective, a laboratory experiment was conducted using 80 experienced subjects. The results indicate that avatar-based chatting was more playfulness than text-based chatting in general. However, the effects of chatting methods on user perception were quite different according to the task types. There was no significant difference between avatar-based chatting and text-based chatting in the fun-oriented task, but avatar-based chatting was perceived as a more playful, focused, telepresent, and social present method in the work-oriented task.

분산 이기종 컴퓨팅 시스템의 성능은 입력 그래프인 방향성 비순환 그래프DAG)를 스케줄링 하는 알고리즘의 성능에 따라 좌우된다. 그러나 분산 이기종 컴퓨팅 시스템에서의 태스크 스케줄링은 NP-complete 문제로 휴리스틱 방법으로 접근해야한다. 태스크 스케줄링 알고리즘은 우선순위 결정 단계와 프로세서 할당 단계로 구성되며, 많은 연구들이 두 단계를 함께 고려하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 태스크 우선순위 결정 단계에 초점을 맞추어 태스크 복제 기반 프로세서 할당 방법에 최적화된 태스크 우선순위 결정 알고리즘인 WPD 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 WPD 알고리즘의 성능 분석을 위해 태스크 복제 기반 프로세서 할당 방법을 사용하는 기존의 태스크 스케줄링 알고리즘인 HMPID, HCPFD, HCT 알고리즘의 프로세서 할당 단계에 본 논문에서 제안하는 WPD 알고리즘을 결합하여 성능을 비교하였다. 그 결과 본 논문에서 제안하는 WPD 알고리즘이 기존 태스크 우선순위 결정 방법에 비해 태스크 복제를 더욱 효율적으로 사용하여 HCPFD 알고리즘보다 9.58%, HCT 알고리즘보다 1.31% 성능 향상이 있는 것을 확인하였다.

In order to examine universal design, 1 have developed two analytical methodologies based on 3P(point) task analysis: structured task analysis and task matrix analysis. I also extracted nine universal design items, namely (1) adjustment, (2) redundancy, (3) specification and function transparency, (4) feedback and (5) error tolerance, (6) effective acquisition of information, (7) ease of understanding and judgment, (8) comfortable operation, and (9) continuity of information and operation. Structured task analysis is used to uncover problems in each of the tasks constituting a job for each functionally challenged condition of users, and solutions to the extracted problems are examined in terms of the above-mentioned nine universal design items. Task matrix analysis calls for the production of a table for each task in a job. In each table, nine items form the columns, and the horizontal rows list all disability types. Then, solutions are formulated for each cell formed by the intersecting columns and rows. Using these two analysis methods, 1 have conducted a verification experiment for the universal design of a public bus. The results of the research have enabled me to propose various ,solutions from a system-based perspective, instead of coming up with the superficial and isolated solutions which are normally produced when conventional analytical methods are used.

In order to prevent railway accidents due to human errors which have been recognized to be the most important cause in the railway accidents, human errors should have been controlled based on systematical analysis of the human errors, and countermeasures should be derived to reduce human error probability. Among several factors inducing human errors, task load (or task complexity) is representative. In order to reduce the human error, a systematic analysis should be undertaken to evaluate task load. In this study, task load according to task types of railway worker who are a safety critical staff have been quantitatively analyzed based on NASA-TLX(Task Load Index).

In order to tolerate faults which may occur during the execution of distributed tasks in high-performance parallel computer systems, tasks are duplicated on different processors. In this paper, by utilizing the task duplication based scheduling algorithm, a new task scheduling algorithm which duplicates each task on more than two different processors with the minimum schedule length is presented, and the number of processors required for the duplication is analyzed with the ratio of communication cost to computation time and the workload of the system. A simulation with various task graphs reveals that the number of processors required for the full-duplex fault-tolerant task scheduling with the obtainable minimum schedule length increases about 30% to 75% when compared with that of the task duplication based scheduling algorithm.

According to software growth, also software maintenance has been continuously improving. In addition, the existing concept of software maintenance process demands operational management and improvement of service task. However, when we perform maintenance task, we have several constraints about applying service based requirement to system. Therefore, in order to solve these problems, we need a study of task of process for service based maintenance. In this paper, we propose a Service based Software Maintenance Process. Proposed process based on MaRMI-RE standard for software development and maintenance and compares it with the service based representative standards. In a related works, we study activity of ITIL and identify activities and tasks for maintenance. After this, identified activities and tasks compare with activities of MaRMI-RE. And then, we derive activities and tasks of a Service based Software Maintenance Process. Finally, we validate a result by comparing the proposed process with a general service operational process.

Purpose: We examined the effect of dual-task and single-task training on serial reaction time (SRT) task performance to determine whether SRT is based more on motor or perception in a dual-task. Methods: Forty healthy adults were divided into two groups: the dual-task group (mean age, $21.8{\pm}1.6$ years) and the single-task group (mean age, $21.7{\pm}1.6$ years). SRT task was conducted total 480 trial. The four figures were presented randomly 16 times. A unit was set as 1 block that would repeat 10 times. Thus, there were a total of 160 trials for each of the three color conditions. The dual-task group performed an SRT task while detecting the color of a specific shape. The end of the task, subjects answered the specific shape number; the single-task group only performed the SRT task. The study consisted of three parts: pre-measurement, task performance, and post-measurement. Results: Differences of pre and post reaction time between two group was higher for the dual-task group as compared to the single task group and there was a significant interaction between time and group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Our results indicate that. short term period SRT is not quiet effective under dual-task conditions, individuals need additional cognitive processes to successfully navigate a task This suggests that dual-task training might not be appropriate for motor learning enhancement, at least when the training is over a short period.

Several task clustering heuristics are proposed for allocating tasks in heterogeneous systems to achieve a good response time in data intensive jobs. However, one of the challenging problems is the process in task scheduling after task allocation by task clustering. We propose a task scheduling method after task clustering, leveraging worst schedule length (WSL) as an upper bound of the schedule length. In our proposed method, a task in a WSL sequence is scheduled preferentially to make the WSL smaller. Experimental results by simulation show that the response time is improved in several task clustering heuristics. In particular, our proposed scheduling method with the task clustering outperforms conventional list-based task scheduling methods.

Fred.E Fiedler는 상황 리더쉽 이론에서 사회 문화적 특성에 따른 Work-style을 근거하여 문화집단을 과업지향적인(Task-oriented) 집단과 관계지향적인 (Relationship-oriented)집단으로 나눈다. 본 연구는 제품사용에 있어 Task를 수행하는 성향의 정도가 제품 인터렉션에 영향을 미칠 것이라는 가설을 세우고, 이를 검증하기 위하여 Fred.E Fiedler의 상황 리더쉽 이론을 근거로 하는 LPC 실험결과의 성향 정도에 따른 제품 사용 인터렉션을 연구한다. Task-oriented 성향과 가까운 문화권 집단은 제품사용에 있어 의도한 목적을 단 시간 빠르게 수행(usability)하는 퍼포먼스의 인터렉션을 중시하고, Relationship-oriented 성향과 가까운 문화권 집단은 제품사용에 있어 목적을 수행(usability)할 때 의미부여(refelctive)적인 측면을 더 중요하게 생각할 것이라는 가설을 증명하기 위한 실험으로 비교적 Task의 의미부여(refelctive)가 동등하고 빈번하게 잘 일어나는 기기인 모바일 단말기 사용에 있어 이 두 집단의 주소록의 주기능과 부기능 사용행태를 비교하고 데이터를 수집, 분석하여 가설을 검증한다. 이 연구결과, 주소록 사용에 있어서 피들러의 상황이론에 의한 Task 수행성향은 모바일 단말기 인터렉션 사용에 영향과의 연관성은 다소 낮게 나타났으며, 관련하여 본 실험 도중 몇 가지 흥미로운 패턴을 발견할 수 있었는데, 이를 기반으로 향후 모바일 단말기의 주소록의 사용자 지향적인 디자인 방향성에 대한 가이드라인을 제시하였다.
