ITS World Congress 2014 - Performance Evaluation of Transit Data Formats on a...Sean Barbeau
Presented at the 2014 ITS World Congress in Detroit, MI.
Over the last decade mobile devices have changed how we access transportation information. However, many past data formats used in information services have been designed without the processing and energy constraints of mobile devices in mind. Newer standards, such as the Service Interface for Real-time Information (SIRI) v2.0, are including mobile-friendly features that reduce the processing overhead on mobile devices. Coupled with the advances in mobile device processing capabilities, many believe that performance is no longer an issue of concern in modern mobile phones. This paper presents an evaluation of the SIRI data format on a mobile device, which indicates that not only is performance still an issue, but that app developers should carefully consider certain software design choices to avoid exposing mobile users to extensive wait times (e.g., wait for real-time transit arrival information). The results also demonstrate that information service providers should always offer mobile-friendly interfaces (i.e., RESTful web services with JSON encoding) when possible. The benchmarking software is made available as an open-source application so that others can perform their own experiments, and so that app developers can use this library as a foundation for building new applications based on the SIRI format.

Reconceiving the Web as a Distributed (NoSQL) Data SystemDaniel Austin
[Slides from NoSQL Now! 2013]
Nearly every Web request is a request for information from a database or a front-end caching system for one. Based on this concept, we can reconceive the Web as a large-scale distributed data system using NoSQL query languages across high-level protocols such as HTTP. Exploring this idea further leads us to a better understanding of the structure of the Web, and invites us to apply modern NoSQL thinking toward making it better. My goal is to re-orient people’s thinking toward the Web as a big NoSQL data system and then explore the implications.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Q: What Does Performance Mean?
Q: What Do ‘Fast’ and ‘Slow’ Mean?
Q: How Fast is Fast Enough?
4. The MPPC Model of Web Performance
T1 = Network Connection T2 = Server Duration T3 = Network Transport T4 = Client Processing
5. The User Time

6. The Layer 8 Hypothesis
You are a Node on the Internet!
• The Internet Connects People,
Not Computers
• Humans are Machines that Turn
Data into Information
7. Hi, What’s Your Bandwidth?

8. Optical Transmission: MK1 Eyeball
• Human Visual Bandwidth ~ 8.75 MBPS
• Not a Simple Digital System!
9. The NeoCortical Visual Stack
Thus just ~100 ms after image photons impinge on the retina, a first wave of image-selective neuronal activity
is present throughout much of The Inferior Temporal lobe…

10. Grokking isn’t the Same as Seeing

11. Cognitive Processing: Choice Response Times
• When faced with N
choices, users will take
O(log N) cycles to process
the data and respond.
(Hick-Hyman Law)
• This also means that users
can process additional
tasks in constant time
12. Fitt’s Law and the Web
• The motor processing time TM is related to the
size and apparent distance of the object on
the display and is limited by accuracy
13. Fitt’s Law and Mobile Devices
• Implications for RWD
• Size of UI objects on small screens limits accuracy
• May require qualitative redesign for human motor
limitations
• Wearables and small devices are near the point of
minimum usability for visual interaction
• Are recent increases in mobile phone sizes an
accommodation to Fitt’s Law?
14. Test Your Own Response Time
• Best Scores: ~100-200ms
• Try it yourself
http://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime
15. The Practice Effect
Can you optimize your own response time?
Yes, up to a point.
The Power Law of Practice indicates that
the time required to do a task the nth time
declines exponentially and then stabilizes.
Tn = T1*n-a with a ~ 0.2-0.6
16. Browsing Fast and Slow
Fast
THuman > TSystem
The system waits on the user
Slow
THuman < TSystem
The user waits on the system
17. Is 100ms ‘Fast Enough’?
• In most cases, THuman > 100ms
• But users are sensitive to changes ~ 30ms
• Client processing adds additional time
• User tasks often involve more than one response
step
18. It’s Fast Enough When…
…It Takes YOU Longer to Process the
Information…
…Than It Takes to Deliver It.
19. When It’s Fast Enough, Then What?
• Make it fast for everyone
• Then you can try adding more stuff to the page!
But not until then!
• Technologies are becoming available more quickly
than we can optimize them
20. Summing Up: How Fast is Fast Enough?
It’s Fast Enough When You are Waiting on Your Users,
Not Making Them Wait for You!
Human Mental Processing is Parameterized by ~100ms
Response Times
We Can’t Expect the Web to Achieve TV-level Response
Times
Ultimately, Performance Is About Respect.
