Our method learns the statistical nature of the engagement of the driver to the particulars of the task using Markov Renewal Processes (MRP) and we use these statistics to optimize the timing of auditory alerts to make semi-autonomous driving safer and enjoyable. The virtue of the method also allows it to continually learn the driver's behavior at all times, even after the initial training period. Therefore, our method alerts the driver in a way that minimizes annoyance and increases effectiveness. More importantly however, it learns to alert each driver in an individualized manner, tailored to the driver's unique behavioral patterns learned over time.","PeriodicalId":243766,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Multi-Disciplinary Conference on Cognitive Methods in Situation Awareness and Decision Support (CogSIMA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116089535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Systems tend to become wider in scale and are able to capture different aspects of living conditions inside and outside buildings. The variety of available information makes those systems attractive to various user groups with different roles and responsibilities in Smart Home domain. Yet current solutions for monitoring systems do not consider personal user needs, which lead to overwhelming user with excessive information flow. This paper proposes information management system with usage of Semantic Web technologies (ontologies and queries), which takes into account personal user needs in the system and current situation in the environment and reduces information load to the user by providing personal data. It is expected that proposed information management approach will make general monitoring systems user friendly and personal oriented and thus safer during the operation. The detailed description of designed ontology is provided. Two basic scenarios for Smart Homes with social services are considered and developed prototype is described. Current implementation of the proposed architecture shows feasibility of the approach and prompts further fields of research.","PeriodicalId":243766,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Multi-Disciplinary Conference on Cognitive Methods in Situation Awareness and Decision Support (CogSIMA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114274196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Timed strategic games A new game theory for managing strategic plans in the time dimension","authors":"S. Sarcià","doi":"10.1109/COGSIMA.2013.6523846","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/COGSIMA.2013.6523846","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Over the last 60+ years a number of wars of different kinds has been taken place worldwide. Scholars refer to the latest ones as 4th Generation wars (or warfare) where the confrontation is no longer between state actors, but between non-state actors (mainly guerrilla/insurgents) and state actors. Aims: Since the old strategic game theory (e.g. Prisoner's Dilemma) is not able to explain 4th Generation wars because of asymmetry and the lack of a timed framework, we define a variation of this theory that we call Timed Strategic Game with the aim of bringing up the discussion on what it is really needed to plan and manage military campaigns such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Lebanon, Israel-Palestine, and etc. Method: The theory being defined deals with asymmetry and includes a temporal dimension. Our definition is completely new. We did not use an automaton approach as usually done in game theory. We considered a continuous parametric function varying based upon the variable time. The use of the variable time in strategic games is the main novelty of this work. Results: Based upon the definition of “Timed Strategic Game”, we put forward the definition of “Timed Prisoner's Dilemma” and another one that we called IN-OUT game, which was set up specifically to model the main features of 4th Generation wars. Furthermore, the contribution of this work is also with the definition of Stable and Unstable Timed Nash Equilibria, which are the extension of “Nash Equilibria” to Timed Strategic Games. Conclusions: In this research we show a way of modeling asymmetric strategic games over time. Even though the suitability of the application of this new theory has to be tried out in practical terms, it is the first step to have a theoretical framework where strategic games can finally be categorized in terms of time. Additional contributions are that the proposed model is general purpose regardless of 4th Generation wars; we observed that Timed Strategic Games could also help model value-based management, earned value analysis, and share-market dynamics.","PeriodicalId":243766,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Multi-Disciplinary Conference on Cognitive Methods in Situation Awareness and Decision Support (CogSIMA)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114299960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gaming simulations are here defined as a simulation of a system through the use of gaming methods. Unlike SA measurements in human-in-the-loop simulators like cockpits, measurements for situation awareness in multi-actor gaming simulation environments are little investigated as a methodological approach. The aim of the framework is to bridge the gap between the theoretical implications of gaming simulations design elements and SA measurement techniques. Secondly, to provide key elements in game design and evaluation for the development of situation awareness measurement techniques. The framework is applied to determine a set of situation awareness measurement techniques for Dutch railway traffic controllers, in which the Dutch railway sector is increasingly using gaming simulation methods to investigate influences of new innovations for the railway system before innovations are put into the operations. Different sets of situation awareness measurement techniques for individuals and team/groups in railway traffic control are selected.","PeriodicalId":243766,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Multi-Disciplinary Conference on Cognitive Methods in Situation Awareness and Decision Support (CogSIMA)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125343378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We ran an experiment in which 24 participants each played against two computer opponents for six blocks of gameplay, with different opponent strategies in each block. Based on SA theory and design principles, we developed three different user interfaces, each supporting a specific SA Level. Each SA Level is inclusive of components from the previous level(s). We assess several trust-related metrics during the study, including percentage of cooperation over time and subjective level of self-reported trust towards the opponents, and analyze the interdependencies of trust, SA, and opponent strategy. Results from the experiment reveal highest levels of cooperation at SA Level 1 overall, and a higher level of cooperation for the group of cooperation-encouraging opponent strategies at SA Level 1 and 2 compared to cooperation-discouraging strategies. There is also a positive relationship between self-reported trust in the opponents and cooperation behavior for these strategies, but this relationship was not present in the cooperation-discouraging group. These results show that participants do respond to strategy type in terms of behavior, and that cooperation level is an indicator of the trust that participants place in the opponent players when cooperation emerges.","PeriodicalId":243766,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Multi-Disciplinary Conference on Cognitive Methods in Situation Awareness and Decision Support (CogSIMA)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124146815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have chosen the academic environment as the ongoing contextual setting for our system. From this perspective, we designed Proactive Scenarios for an automatic and enhanced management of the online learning and teaching activities on Moodle™ for both student and teacher users. Due to the diversity of the potential contexts and situations arising from the user's activity, we developed two kinds of Proactive Scenarios. The first type or Meta Scenarios are responsible for capturing the changes in the outward context. The second type or Target Scenarios are triggered off by Meta Scenarios and aim to undertake the appropriate actions in response to the conditions of the user's contextual situation. In order to test and validate the capability of our software as well as to analyse its context related outcomes we have performed empirical studies. The experiments consisted in creating two groups of students, on the one hand the study group, which used the Moodle™ platform enhanced by PCAS, and on the other hand the control group, which used the standard version of Moodle™. The subsequent data analysis showed significant differences in specific related results such as notable advantage of the study group outcomes in the category of passing the final exam, where the study group has performed by 11 percentage points better than the control group.","PeriodicalId":243766,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Multi-Disciplinary Conference on Cognitive Methods in Situation Awareness and Decision Support (CogSIMA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130816679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
