Gesturing on the steering wheel, a comparison with speech and touch interaction modalities

Angelini, Leonardo ; Baumgartner, Jürgen ; Carrino, Francisco ; Carrino, Stefano ; Caon, Maurizio ; Abou Khaled, Omar ; Sauer, Jürgen ; Lalanne, Denis ; Mugellini, Elena ; Sonderegger, Andreas

(Internal working papers DIUF ; 15-03)

This paper compares an emergent interaction modality for the In-Vehicle Infotainment System (IVIS), i.e., gesturing on the steering wheel, with two more popular modalities in modern cars: touch and speech. We conducted a betweensubjects experiment with 20 participants for each modality to assess the interaction performance with the IVIS and the impact on the driving performance. Moreover, we...

The no-wait job shop with regular objective : a method based on optimal job insertion

Gröflin, Heinz ; Bürgy, Reinhard

(Internal working papers DIUF ; 15-02)

The no-wait job shop problem (NWJS-R) considered here is a version of the job shop scheduling problem where, for any two operations of a job, a fixed time lag between their starting times is prescribed. Also, sequence-dependent set-up times between consecutive operations on a machine can be present. The problem consists in finding a schedule that minimizes a general regular objective function. We...

Complementing Büchi automata with a subset-tuple construction

Allred, Joel ; Ultes-Nitsche, Ulrich

(Internal working papers DIUF ; 15-01)

Complementation of Büchi automata is well known for being difficult. In the worst case, a state-space growth of (0:76n)n is unavoidable. Recent studies suggest that “simpler” algorithms perform better than more involved ones on practical cases. In this paper, we present a simple “direct” algorithm for complementing Büchi automata. It involves a structured subset construction (using...
