{"pk":27133,"title":"Novice to Expert continuum may affect System Response Time","subtitle":null,"abstract":"To familiarize herself with a user-interface of a software\nsystem, a user needs practice. With practice, a user's think\ntime gradually decreases—the novice to expert transition. We\npropose a queueing model that accounts for this transition in\nanalyzing the performance of a distributed software system.\nWe solve the model using deterministic simulation. Our\nmodel captures system performance in terms of system\nresponse time. We use the model to demonstrate how users—\nwho are at various experience levels in the novice to expert\ncontinuum—may affect the system response time.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"User Think Time; System Response Time;\nQueueing Network"},{"word":"Novice to Expert Transition"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0r02g24k","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Arindam","middle_name":"","last_name":"Das","name_suffix":"","institution":"York University","department":""},{"first_name":"Olivia","middle_name":"","last_name":"Das","name_suffix":"","institution":"Ryerson University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27133/galley/16769/download/"}]}
