The Impact Of Automation Etiquette On User Performance And Trust In Non-Personified Technology, Zachary Joseph Guyton
The Impact Of Automation Etiquette On User Performance And Trust In Non-Personified Technology, Zachary Joseph Guyton
All Theses
Previous research has shown that good automation etiquette can yield positive effects on user performance, trust, satisfaction, and motivation. Automation etiquette is especially influential in personified technologies – users have increased etiquette expectations from technology that has human characteristics. Designers deliberately integrate etiquette into personified technologies to account for users’ anthropomorphization and meet user needs. The current study examined the impact of etiquette in non-personified technologies. The study aimed to demonstrate that automation etiquette also affects performance, trust, perceived workload, and motivation in technologies that possess little to no human characteristics. The study used a computer-based automation task to examine …

Automating The Design Optimization Of Vehicle Structures, William Bruce Mccormack
All Theses
structures, parametric design and finite element analysis are common tools for simulating structural behavior of systems under static and quasi-static loading. While these tools provide significant benefits over physical experimentation, cumbersome to set up and this time-consuming setup may need to be repeated many times while iterating on a design. The designers would therefore benefit from automating this design and analysis process so that they can explore the design space more efficiently or obtain higher performance design alternatives. To take full advantage of the benefits of this automation, it important to make the process as quick and easy as possible. …
