CAD frameworks are expected to provide a broad spectrum of services to designers and CAD system developers, including tool integration, data management, process management, and methodology management. One of the difficulties in realizing this overall goal is the wide variation in requirements for modeling the information associated with each of these services, and the rough or nonexistent inter...

We introduce the notion of task-specific information (TSI) to quantify the performance of imaging systems. We demonstrate the utility of TSI for evaluating the performance of conventional and projective imagers for a detection task. c © 2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 110.3000,110.4280,200.3050.

In this paper, we describe our submission to the Shared Task #1. We tried to follow the underlying idea of the task, that is, evaluating the gap of full-fledged recognizing textual entailment systems with respect to compositional distributional semantic models (CDSMs) applied to this task. We thus submitted two runs: 1) a system obtained with a machine learning approach based on the feature spa...

Gap and overlap tasks are widely used to promote automatic versus controlled saccades. This study examines the hypothesis that the right posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is differently involved in the two tasks. Twelve healthy students participated in the experiment. We used double-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) on the right PPC, the first pulse delivered at the target onset and ...

The main impediment to a widespread use of geographic information using a geographic information system (GIS) is the gap between the user’s expression of a task within the context of an activity and the sequence of operations within a GIS needed to successfully perform that task. Users express their intentions and supporting activities in a high level language, usually in natural language. This...

We present a literature review that identifies a gap in business intelligence knowledge regarding the fit between technology and the tasks solved using the technology. We propose a model that frames the fit between task characteristics and the use of business intelligence. The model represents task, system, and information quality as independent constructs with task compatibility as the depende...

In the context of innovative Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) platform capabilities, we are building an environment that can support the generation of information tailored to the operator’s tasks. To this end, we propose a task-based interaction environment that delivers tailored multimedia information based on the analysis and the recognition of the operator’s activity. This aims at ...

Performance Measurement is still a difficult task for forwarding companies. This is caused on the one hand by missing resources and on the other hand by missing tools. The research project “Management Information System for Logistics Service Providers” aims for closing the gap between needed and disposable solutions. Core of the project is the development of a performance measurement system for...
