Abstract The advent of artificial intelligence is changing the task allocation workers and machines in firms’ production processes with potentially wide ranging effects on firms. We develop an agent-based simulation framework to investigate consequences different types automation for industry output, wage distribution, labor share, dynamics. It shown how competitiveness markets, particular barr...

We identified a set of open issues in the context of software aging and long-living systems with respect to the application domain of industrial automation systems, e.g. process control [7] and SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems. Existing systems in the automation domain suffer from expensive evolution and maintenance as well as from long release cycles. One of the root ca...

The paper aims at proposing a solution for designing and developing a seamless automation and integration of machine learning capabilities for Big Data with the following requirements: 1) the ability to seamlessly handle and scale very large amount of unstructured and structured data from diversified and heterogeneous sources; 2) the ability to systematically determine the steps and procedures ...

OBJECTIVE Effects of four types of automation support and two levels of automation reliability were examined. The objective was to examine the differential impact of information and decision automation and to investigate the costs of automation unreliability. BACKGROUND Research has shown that imperfect automation can lead to differential effects of stages and levels of automation on human pe...

We present the Input Observer, a tool that can run quietly in the background of users’ computers and measure their text entry and mouse pointing performance from everyday use. In lab studies, participants are presented with prescribed tasks, enabling easy identification of speeds and errors. In everyday use, no such prescriptions exist. We devised novel algorithms to segment text entry and mous...

This special issue had its genesis in the 22nd Design Automation Conference, held June 23-26, 1985, in Las Vegas. Of the 125 high-quality papers presented at that meeting, seven were eventually selected, updated, and augmented as representative of the areas covered. There are four articles from universities and three from industry covering the areas of layout, silicon compilation with testabili...

In this study we propose a novel monitor hydraulic automatic gauge control (HAGC) system based on fuzzy feedforward controller. This is used in the development of cold rolling mill automation system to improve the quality of cold strip. According to features/ properties of entry steel strip like its average yield stress, width of strip, and desired exit thickness, this controller realizes the c...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to examine pilots' automation monitoring strategies and performance on highly automated commercial flight decks. BACKGROUND A considerable body of research and operational experience has documented breakdowns in pilot-automation coordination on modern flight decks. These breakdowns are often considered symptoms of monitoring failures even though, to da...

The study explores the current state of test automation in software testing organizations by focusing on the views and observations of managers, testers and developers in each organization. The case study was conducted in selected organizational units that develop and test technical software for industrial automation or telecommunication domains. The data was collected with 41 theme-based inter...

The subject area of this report is Linked Data and its application to the Government domain. Linked Data is an alternative method of data representation that aims to interlink data from varied sources through relationships. Governments around the world have started publishing their data in this format to assist citizens in making better use of public services. This report provides an eight step...
