One approach to mitigate the risks of driver distraction is to build an in-vehicle service manager component that is aware of the attentional requirements of the current and of upcoming traffic situations. This component will rely on technologies for personalized driver workload prediction, based on an enhanced digital map, and/or on sensors for physiological and behavioral workload correlates....

This paper describes the characterisation of a synthetic workload for performance evaluation of a new system before replacing a legacy system. The workload is used by CAPPLES, a capacity planning and performance analysis method for the migration of legacy systems. Typical workload characterisation problems are anticipated and discussed. Further, guidelines to characterise a CAPPLES workload for...

OBJECTIVE Cognitive deficits have been inconsistently described for late or moderately preterm children but are consistently found in very preterm children. This study investigates the association between cognitive workload demands of tasks and cognitive performance in relation to gestational age at birth. METHODS Data were collected as part of a prospective geographically defined whole-popul...

As a Human Computer Interaction (HCI) designer, it is important to understand the cognitive workload level (mental demand) of an operator while performing a task. A particular concern about operator workload stems from the increased potential for errors when cognitive workload gets too high. The Office of Naval Research Disruptive Technologies Opportunity Fund, is sponsoring research investigat...

The type of the workload on a database management system (DBMS) is a key consideration in tuning the system. Allocations for resources such as main memory can be very different depending on whether the workload type is Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) or Decision Support System (DSS). A DBMS also typically experiences changes in the type of workload it handles during its normal processing c...

Database Management System (DBMS) is used as a data source with financial, educational, web and other applications from last many years. Users are connected with the DBMS to update existing records and retrieving reports by executing workloads that consist of complex queries. In order to get the sufficient level of performance, arrangement of workloads is necessary. Rapid growth in data, maximu...
