Human-Computer Agent Negotiation Using Cross Culture Reliability Models

Abstract. Skilful collaborative problem-solving is becoming increasingly important in various life areas. However, researchers are still seeking ways to assess and foster this skill in individuals. In this study, we developed a computer-assisted assessment for collaborative behavior (COLBAS) following the experiment-based assessment of behavior approach (objective personality tests; Cattell, 1958 ). The instrument captures participants’ collaborative behavior in problem-solving tasks using the MicroDYN approach while participants work collaboratively with a computer-agent. COLBAS can thereby assess problem-solving and collaborative behavior expressed through communication acts. To investigate its validity, we administered COLBAS to 483 German seventh graders along with MicroDYN as a measure of individual problem-solving skills and questions regarding the motivation to collaborate. A latent confirmatory factor analysis suggested a five-dimensional construct with two problem-solving dimensions (knowledge acquisition and knowledge application) and three collaboration dimensions (questioning, asserting, and requesting). The results showed that extending MicroDYN to include collaborative aspects did not considerably change the measurement of problem-solving. Finally, students who were more motivated to collaborate interacted more with the computer-agent but also obtained worse problem-solving results.

The Impact

In this article we present a conceptual of the effect of cross culture on consumer behavior incorporating the impact of globalization. This conceptual idea shows that culture inûuences various domains of consumer behavior directly as well as through international organization to implement marketing strategy. The conceptual identify several factors such as norm and value in the community, several variables and also depicts the impact of other environmental factors and marketing strategy elements on consumer behavior. We also identify categories of consumer culture orientation resulting from globalization. Highlights of each of the several other articles included in this special issue in Asia region. We conclude with the contributions of the articles in terms of the consumer cultural orientations and identify directions for future research.

Higher Education Costs

Over the past decade due the expansion of globalization there has been an increasing emphasis on internationalization among faculty, administration and accrediting agencies in the Higher Education. Although to promote internationalization in the Higher Education, costs are a big challenge, one way to have the international actions with low cost, it is seeking for grants from different governmental agencies and foundations.The Fulbright Scholar program provides a long-standing and externally-funded means for internationalizing college and university curriculum. This article is going to share the perspective of a Brazilian Fulbright Scholar at an American college and the institution perspective of the Fulbright scholar participation at the College.

Time Reserve

The article evaluates the reliability indicators of telecommunication system equipment, which can be represented by multi-mode objects of continuous and episodic use with a time reserve operating under conditions of a priori uncertainty. Particular attention is paid to consideration of the process of functioning of the system with a replenished time reserve. The telecommunication system includes an object represented by one structural element and used in different modes of operation. In each mode, the object can be used continuously or episodically (the object performs tasks that occur at random times), herewith only a certain part of its equipment is operating. The restoration of the facility's operation in each mode is based on the "quick" recovery scheme ("quick" recovery means that the repair time is much less than the average working time of the element between failures). Also, some cases of the transition of an object from one mode to another are considered, and the control system operates according to the method of sequential control of parameters. In this case, the system, after waiting mode, begins to analyze the first parameter of the monitored complex, then the second and so on. After analyzing the parameters, the system enters the waiting mode. These calculated ratios allow for a comprehensive assessment of the reliability of telecommunication equipment, taking into account the totality of the main factors that significantly affect the reliability of the equipment in real conditions of operation, make it possible to solve important practical problems which arise from the improvement of existing equipment and development of existing equipment.
