Title : What’s wrong with web services
| Presenter | Ruud Stegers |
| Abstract | In an open environment like the Web there are many providers of web services. Unfortunately, this same open nature leads to a wide variety of services that share the same functionality, but have different interfaces and are therefore incompatbile. Ideally functionally equivalent services should be able to interoperate, but current technologies are making this difficult because of their nature. In my talk I will try to unveil the aspects of current technologies that hinder compatibility and see what needs to be done to counter this. |
Title : Controlling Biases in Demanding Tasks
| Presenter | Annerieke Heuvelink |
| Abstract | Many aspects affect the way humans perform tasks. Not only the content of a task, but also somebody’s personality or his or her current exhaustion influences how that task is executed. Under varying task execution conditions the quality of the performance is known to vary, for example, due to biases that occur. To obtain agents with human-like behaviours, cognitive models are needed that incorporate such biases and the dynamics of the way in which the agent controls them. In this talk I will introduces a dynamical cognitive agent model addressing these aspects. It has been formally specified, tested in simulations for various task scenarios, and formally analysed. |
