Automata and Petri Net Models for Visualizing and Analyzing Complex Questionnaires: A Case Study
نویسنده
چکیده
Questionnaires for complex studies can grow to considerable sizes. Several hundred questions are not uncommon. In addition, routings are used to distinguish between question paths for different respondents. This leads to the question of how to ensure validity and other important properties. We examine this question for a case with even more demanding side conditions: An important part of the OECD study ”PIAAC”(Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies) is a background questionnaire (BQ) containing more than 400 questions. This BQ has to be adapted by all participating countries. Nevertheless, integrity of the overall system has to be ensured.

Soccer Goalkeeper Task Modeling and Analysis by Petri Nets
In a robotic soccer team, goalkeeper is an important challenging role, which has different characteristics from the other teammates. This paper proposes a new learning-based behavior model for a soccer goalkeeper robot by using Petri nets. The model focuses on modeling and analyzing, both qualitatively and quantitatively, for the goalkeeper role so that we have a model-based knowledge of the ta...
متن کاملMapping Activity Diagram to Petri Net: Application of Markov Theory for Analyzing Non-Functional Parameters
The quality of an architectural design of a software system has a great influence on achieving non-functional requirements of a system. A regular software development project is often influenced by non-functional factors such as the customers' expectations about the performance and reliability of the software as well as the reduction of underlying risks. The evaluation of non-functional paramet...
متن کاملA rule-based evaluation of ladder logic diagram and timed petri nets for programmable logic controllers
This paper describes an evaluation through a case study by measuring a rule-based approach, which proposed for ladder logic diagrams and Petri nets. In the beginning, programmable logic controllers were widely designed by ladder logic diagrams. When complexity and functionality of manufacturing systems increases, developing their software is becoming more difficult. Thus, Petri nets as a high l...

CRC cards are unconventional method for identifying and describing classes, behavior and its responsibilities and collaborators of class. Representation of three categories of class, responsibilities and collaborators can give proper image of scenario. These cards are effective method for analyzing scenarios. With all positive features of CRC cards, of weaknesses of these cards are failure to s...
