Download or read book A User Acceptance of Web Personalization Systems written by Dr. Fendi Ameen and published by Iris Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on web personalization techniques for collecting and analysing web data in order to deliver personalized information to users is in an advanced state. Many metrics from the computational intelligence field have been developed to evaluate the algorithmic performance of Web Personalization Systems (WPSs). However, measuring the success of a WPS in terms of user acceptance is difficult until the WPS is deployed in practice. In summary, many techniques exist for delivering personalized information to a user, but a comprehensive measure of the success in WPSs in terms of human interaction and behaviour does not exist. This study aims to develop a framework for measuring user acceptance of WPSs from a user perspective. The proposed framework is based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). The antecedents of user accep- tance are described by indicators based on four key constructs, i.e. performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), and facilitating conditions (FC). All these constructs are underpinned by Information Systems (IS) theories that determine the intention to use (BI) and the actual use (USE) of a technology. A user acceptance model was proposed and validated using structural equation modelling (SEM) via the partial least squares path modelling (PLS-PM). Four user characteristics (i.e. gender, age, skill and experience) have been chosen for testing the moderating effects of the four constructs. The relationship between the four constructs in regard to BI and USE has been validated through moderating effects, in order to present an overall view of the extent of user acceptance of a WPS. Results from response data analysis show that the acceptance of a WPS is deter- mined through PE, EE SI, and FC. The gender of a user was found to moderate the relationship between performance expectancy of a WPS and their behavioural intention in using a WPS. The effect of behavioural intention on the use of WPS is higher for a group of females than for males. Furthermore, the proposed model has been tested and validated for its explanation power of the model and effect size. The current study concluded that predictive relevance of intention to use a WPS is more effective than the actual WPS usage, which indicated that intention to use has more prediction power for describing a user acceptance of a WPS. The implications of these measures from the computational intelligent point of view are useful when a WPS is implemented. For example, the designer of a WPS should consider personalized design features that enable the delivery of relevant information, sharing to other users, and accessibility across many platforms, Such features create a better web experience and a complete security policy. These measures can be utilized to obtain a higher attention rate and continued use by a user; the features that define user acceptance of a WPS.

Download or read book The Claustrum written by John R. Smythies and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present day is witnessing an explosion of our understanding of how the brain works at all levels, in which complexity is piled on complexity, and mechanisms of astonishing elegance are being continually discovered. This process is most developed in the major areas of the brain, such as the cortex, thalamus, and striatum. The Claustrum instead focuses on a small, remote, and, until recently, relatively unknown area of the brain. In recent years, researchers have come to believe that the claustrum is concerned with consciousness, a bold hypothesis supported by the claustrum’s two-way connections with nearly every other region of the brain and its seeming involvement with multisensory integrations—the hallmark of consciousness. The claustrum, previously in a humble position at the back of the stage, might in fact be the conductor of the brain’s orchestra. The Claustrum brings together leading experts on the claustrum from the varied disciplines of neuroscience, providing a state-of-the-art presentation of what is currently known about the claustrum, promising lines of current research (including epigenetics), and projections of new lines of investigation on the horizon. Develops a unifying hypothesis about the claustrum’s role in consciousness, as well as the integration of sensory information and other higher brain functions Discusses the involvement of the claustrum with autism, schizophrenia, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease Coverage of all aspects of the claustrum, from its evolution and development to promising new lines of research, including epigenetics, provides a platform and point of reference for future investigative efforts

Download or read book Robot Oriented Design written by Thomas Bock and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Handbooks on Construction Robotics series focuses on the implementation of automation and robot technology to renew the construction industry and to arrest its declining productivity. The series is intended to give professionals, researchers, lecturers, and students basic conceptual and technical skills and implementation strategies to manage, research, or teach the implementation of advanced automation and robot-technology-based processes and technologies in construction. Currently, the implementation of modern developments in product structures (modularity and design for manufacturing), organizational strategies (just in time, just in sequence, and pulling production), and informational aspects (computer-aided design/manufacturing or computer-integrated manufacturing) are lagging because of the lack of modern integrated machine technology in construction. The Cambridge Handbooks on Construction Robotics books discuss progress in robot systems theory and demonstrate their integration using real systematic applications and projections for off-site as well as on-site building production. Robot-Oriented Design and Management introduces the design, innovation, and management methodologies that are key to the realization and implementation of the advanced concepts and technologies presented in the subsequent volumes. This book describes the efficient deployment of advanced construction and building technology. It is concerned with the coadaptation of construction products, processes, organization, and management, and with automated/robotic technology, so that the implementation of modern technology becomes easier and more efficient. It is also concerned with technology and innovation management methodologies and the generation of life cycle-oriented views related to the use of advanced technologies in construction.

This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbert Simon's classic work on artificial intelligence in the expanded and updated third edition from 1996, with a new introduction by John E. Laird. Herbert Simon's classic and influential The Sciences of the Artificial declares definitively that there can be a science not only of natural phenomena but also of what is artificial. Exploring the commonalities of artificial systems, including economic systems, the business firm, artificial intelligence, complex engineering projects, and social plans, Simon argues that designed systems are a valid field of study, and he proposes a science of design. For this third edition, originally published in 1996, Simon added new material that takes into account advances in cognitive psychology and the science of design while confirming and extending the book's basic thesis: that a physical symbol system has the necessary and sufficient means for intelligent action. Simon won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1978 for his research into the decision-making process within economic organizations and the Turing Award (considered by some the computer science equivalent to the Nobel) with Allen Newell in 1975 for contributions to artificial intelligence, the psychology of human cognition, and list processing. The Sciences of the Artificial distills the essence of Simon's thought accessibly and coherently. This reissue of the third edition makes a pioneering work available to a new audience.
