JOTS v93n2 - The Cognitive Processes and Strategies of an Expert and Novice in the Design of a Wireless Radio Frequency Network
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to understand the cognitive processes and procedures employed by an expert and a novice engineer in a realistic radio frequency (RF) systems engineering design challenge by using verbal protocol analysis (VPA). The engineering design challenge encompassed engineering, political, and social constraints. The audio data were then transcribed, segmented, and coded for analysis. The processes and strategies of the expert and novice were juxtaposed for analysis. The expert and novice shared some similarities in their cognitive processes and strategies. However, the expert’s domain knowledge and experience was vastly distinct from that of the novice.

متن کاملBroadcast Routing in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks: A Particle Swarm optimization Approach
While routing in multi-hop packet radio networks (static Ad-hoc wireless networks), it is crucial to minimize power consumption since nodes are powered by batteries of limited capacity and it is expensive to recharge the device. This paper studies the problem of broadcast routing in radio networks. Given a network with an identified source node, any broadcast routing is considered as a directed...
