Countermeasures, or techniques for hiding guilt during a credibility assessment examination, have long been an important topic in cognitive psychology and criminal justice fields. With recent IS research on automated screening systems, understanding the potential for countermeasures in this new paradigm is of increasing importance. This paper reports on a large experiment examining countermeasures in an automated deception detection screening context. The effectiveness of traditional countermeasure types (mental and physical) are examined, as well as an exploratory approach of trying several countermeasures at once. The exploratory approach was tested to investigate a proposed novel systems-inspired solution to countermeasures—triangulating on deception …


Real-Time Embodied Agent Adaptation, Ryan M. Schuetzler, David W. Wilson Jan 2013

Real-Time Embodied Agent Adaptation, Ryan M. Schuetzler, David W. Wilson

Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis Faculty Proceedings & Presentations

This paper reports on initial investigation of two emerging technologies, FaceFX and Smartbody, capable of creating life-like animations for embodied conversational agents (ECAs) such as the AVATAR agent. Real-time rendering and animation generation technologies can enable rapid adaptation of ECAs to changing circumstances. The benefits of each package are discussed.


Information And Communication Technologies Effects On Economic Growth, Nancy Jimenez, Lotfollah Najjar, Sajda Qureshi, Dwight Haworth Jan 2013

Information And Communication Technologies Effects On Economic Growth, Nancy Jimenez, Lotfollah Najjar, Sajda Qureshi, Dwight Haworth

Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis Faculty Proceedings & Presentations

While Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are seen to be drivers of economic growth, it is unclear how this change takes place, especially since social and human factors are often seen to change as a result of ICTs. This paper investigates the effects of ICTs, and social and human factors in terms of skills, education, and labor, on economic growth. An augmented production function is used to quantify the effects that infodensity levels, defined as the combination of ICT networks and skills, education, and labor, have on the economic growth of high and low-to-middle income economies. This research draws upon …


The Role Of Human Capital In Information And Communication Technology Adoption For Development: Evidence From China, Jie Xiong, Sajda Qureshi, Lotfollah Najjar Jan 2013

The Role Of Human Capital In Information And Communication Technology Adoption For Development: Evidence From China, Jie Xiong, Sajda Qureshi, Lotfollah Najjar

Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis Faculty Proceedings & Presentations

Emerging economies, in particular China, are powering growth in Asia. While China is seen to lead growth in the emerging markets of Asia, 98% of its manufacturing and production base is powered by small businesses. These businesses represent the majority of all businesses in emerging countries and the growth of these businesses increases with their successful adoption of Information Technology. This paper uses a well-known model in Information Systems Adoption to analyze ICT usage, the effect ICT usage and human capital in the development of the small businesses in China. The reason this model is used is to find out …


Factors That Affect Information And Communication Technology Adoption By Small Businesses In China, Jie Xiong, Sajda Qureshi, Lotfollah Najjar Jan 2013

Factors That Affect Information And Communication Technology Adoption By Small Businesses In China, Jie Xiong, Sajda Qureshi, Lotfollah Najjar

Information Systems and Quantitative Analysis Faculty Proceedings & Presentations

Emerging economies appear to be powering growth in their regions. While China is seen to lead growth in the emerging markets of Asia, 98% of its manufacturing and production base is powered by small businesses. These businesses represent the majority of all businesses in emerging countries and their growth increases with their successful adoption of Information Technology. As the driving force behind the economic growth of China, Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are shaping the ways in which small businesses are able to grow. The majority of current research into the user acceptance and adoption of ICTs focusses on the …
