A reference model for personal process management (PPM) Systems

2019-06-01
Decision making in everyday life is one of the key activities that has significant effect in shaping the flow of living, the quality of life, and the effectiveness of completing daily life tasks. Recommendation systems are widespread, being used via various mediums to decrease the cognitive load of these decision-making activities. Personal process management (PPM) is the management of “flow of activities” (processes) in people's personal lives. These processes and their management may have small but also extensive complexities. They range from simple ones such as preparing an anniversary party, applying for a visa, or registering for a course, to complicated ones such as marriage organization or buying a house. In this study, we present a reference model for context-aware mobile decision support systems that consider human factor in managing personal processes.

Oruç, Sercan; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Koçyiğit, Altan (2021-01-01)
Decision-making in everyday life has an essential role in effectively completing personal tasks and processes. The complexity of these processes and the resulting cognitive load of managing them may vary significantly. To decrease the cognitive load created by such decision-making efforts and to obtain better outcomes, recommendation systems carry significant potential. In order to investigate the benefits provided by decision support systems (DSS) in personal process management (PPM), we first build a cons...

Gender and personality differences in cognitive tasks: a performance and human mental workload study
Batun, Betül; Çilingir, Canan; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Industrial Engineering (2015)
The increasing complexity of today’s systems creates more demand on individuals during their daily tasks and mental workload becomes more important during a cognitive process. In this study, our aim is to investigate whether individual differences, cognitive task types and task difficulty have a significant impact on mental workload and how those elements affect mental workload if they do. N-back, maze and information sampling task (IST) are used as cognitive tasks. Mental workload is assessed by monitoring...
