A novel trust evolution algorithm based on a quantum-like model of computational trust
AbstractTrust models play an important role in decision support systems and computational environments in general. The common goal of the existing trust models is to provide a representation as close as possible to the social phenomenon of trust in computational domains. In recent years, the field of quantum decision making has been significantly developed. Researchers have shown that the irrationalities, subjective biases, and common paradoxes of human decision making can be better described based on a quantum theoretic model. These decision and cognitive theoretic formulations that use the mathematical toolbox of quantum...

Increasing product owners ’ cognition and decision-making capabilities by data analysis approach
AbstractIn this paper, we focus on the innovative advanced data analysis dedicated for product owners in software development teams. The goal of our novel solutions is to increase cognition and decision making in rapid software development process. The major contribution of this work is the methodology and the tool that gathers the input raw data from the tools such as GitLab or SonarQube, and processes the data further (e.g., using Apache Kafka, Kibana, and Spark) to calculate and visualize more advanced metrics, product factors (e.g., in accordance to Quamoco model), and indicators, and to find correlations between them....

Exploring the factors affecting myopic drivers ’ driving skills and risk perception in nighttime driving
AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate how various factors affect myopic drivers ’ nighttime driving skills and nighttime risk perception. A total of 400 myopic drivers and 100 non-myopic drivers participated in the study. The participants were asked to complete a questionnaire that included demographic information, a quality of life scale, a nighttime driving skills scale, an d a nighttime risk perception scale. To explore the correlations and differences among demographic information, quality of life, myopic drivers’ nighttime driving skills and nighttime risk perceptions, bivariate correlation analysis and...

Revealing perceptual –cognitive expertise in law enforcement: an iterative approach using verbal-report, temporal-occlusion, and option-generation methods
AbstractDespite the attention garnered in the media about police use of force, there have been relatively few investigations of perceptual –cognitive skill in law enforcement using the naturalistic-decision-making approach. In this paper, we provide an overview of a series of four studies in which we investigated experience-based differences in police officer decision making in complex, rapidly unfolding, and uncertain situations. In these naturalistic situations, decision makers must first generate—for themselves—at least one option before intervening or taking action. We sought to test hypotheses about option-gener...

Understanding how primary care clinicians make sense of chronic pain
AbstractChronic pain leads to reduced quality of life for patients, and strains health systems worldwide. In the US and some other countries, the complexities of caring for chronic pain are exacerbated by individual and public health risks associated with commonly used opioid analgesics. To help understand and improve pain care, this article uses the data frame theory of sensemaking to explore how primary care clinicians in the US manage their patients with chronic noncancer pain. We conducted Critical Decision Method interviews with ten primary care clinicians about 30 individual patients with chronic pain. In these inter...
