We describe the design of an experiment based on a time span sheet and take account into account the attachment factor in UX. We further reports the experiment results based on data collected from 36 subjects (among them 20 are iPhone users), and discuss our observations from the statistical analysis. The experiment result shows that there exists interrelation between attachment factor and UX, and the attachment of users to a specific product is created and strengthened while using it for a long time.","PeriodicalId":407345,"journal":{"name":"Joint International Conference on Human-Centered Computer Environments","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125827107","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}

Previously it was shown that in a wide class of human-controlled systems small deviations from the equilibrium position do not cause any actions of the system's operator, so any point in a certain neighborhood of equilibrium position is treated as an equilibrium one. This phenomenon can be described by the notion of dynamical traps that was introduced to denote a region in the system phase space where the object under consideration cannot clearly determine the most preferable of the positions that are similar in some sense. According to this concept, the motion of the system in the dynamical trap region is mainly not affected by the operator. The moments of time when the system leaves the dynamical trap region, or in other words, when the operator decides to start or stop the control over the system, are called action points [1]. These moments are seem to be determined intuitively by the operator, and the purpose of our work is to understand the nature of such intuitive decision making process by investigating the action points data obtained from the experiments.","PeriodicalId":407345,"journal":{"name":"Joint International Conference on Human-Centered Computer Environments","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124031323","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}

In this paper, we describe a method of managing the bandwidth of Squid proxy cache through the World Wide Web, thus allowing Squid administrators and authorized users to allocate a percentage of bandwidth to a particular computer or group of computers without disturbing connected clients. This approach is useful for Squid administrators with low bandwidth internet connections in dynamically prioritizing existing bandwidth for bandwidth-hungry applications such as videoconferencing and bulk file downloading and uploading. In controlling bandwidth utilization of users, delay pools is a widely used technique. In a Squid proxy cache, the delay pools setting should be made by editing a configuration manually and restarting the service. The proposed framework allows to grab delay pool parameters through a web interface. Php and C++ programs were used in implementing the system. With the proposed approach, existing bandwidth can be allocated within hosts or subnets dynamically without disturbing existing connections. By analyzing realtime bandwidth distribution graphs, we could conclude that the proposed framework can distribute the bandwidth as required without affecting connected clients.","PeriodicalId":407345,"journal":{"name":"Joint International Conference on Human-Centered Computer Environments","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122880176","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}

Various methods which use monocular imaging are proposed for driving assistance on roads such as highways [7]. These methods use road information such as white lines. However, it is difficult to distinguish the passable area from public roads which include obstacles using the 'density pattern' of a monocular image of a complicated road. In this research, we propose a method to extract the passable area using stereo images.\u0000 First, road area is presumed using stereo measurement, the principle of epipolar constraint, and Hough transformation. (where, we assumed the road area is plane). This way, the corresponding points that represent the road area in the stereo images are obtained. Second, the parameters of projective transformation are calculated using the corresponding points and transformed into a projective transformation image from the base image (right image). Finally, the passable area is extracted using the difference between the projective transformation image (right image) and the base image (left image).","PeriodicalId":407345,"journal":{"name":"Joint International Conference on Human-Centered Computer Environments","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129246561","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}
