The question whether people can mentally process multiple pieces of information in parallel or in series has intrigued psychologists since the 19th century. Parallel and serial systems and models are very important special cases of the issue of mental architectures. We pause to observe that the "architecture" part is…

An immense number of psychological tasks involve mental operations on various types of perceptual, cognitive, or action entities. Thus, questions concerning whether these operations occur in parallel (i.e., simultaneously), in serial (i.e., one at a time) or in some more complex fashion arise. Though reaching back to…

Dual process theories have become increasingly popular in psychology, behavioral economics, and neuroscience, assuming that two processes, here generically labeled as System 1 and System 2, have antagonistic characteristics such as automatic versus deliberate, impulsive versus rational, fast versus slow, and more. In…

Background Biological Regulatory Networks (BRNs) are responsible for developmental and maintenance related functions in organisms. These functions are implemented by the dynamics of BRNs and are sensitive to regulations enforced by specific activators and inhibitors. The logical modeling formalism by René Thomas…

'Robert Gaschler' 'Hilde Haider'] Even after a long time of research on dual-tasking, the question whether the two tasks are always processed serially (response selection bottleneck models, RSB) or also in parallel (capacity-sharing models) is still going on. The first models postulate that the central processing…

Humans have the ability to temporarily retain information in short-term memory. This store is highly limited, which requires individuals to be selective about what information is stored. In the classic view, objects in the environment are attentionally selected and then committed to short-term memory one-by-one.…

In modern pharmaceutical research, the demand for expeditious development of synthetic routes to active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) has led to a paradigm shift towards data-rich process development. Conventional methodologies en-compass prolonged timelines for reaction and analytical model developments. Both…

The Wiener model, composed of a linear dynamical block and a nonlinear static one connected in series, is frequently used for prediction in Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithms. The parallel structure is an extension of the classical Wiener model; it is expected to offer better modeling accuracy and increase the…

The brain is capable of processing several streams of information that bear on different aspects of the same problem. Here we address the problem of making two decisions about one object, by studying difficult perceptual decisions about the color and motion of a dynamic random dot display. We find that the accuracy of…

Serial and parallel processing in visual search have been long debated in psychology but the processing mechanism remains an open issue. Serial processing allows only one object at a time to be processed, whereas parallel processing assumes that various objects are processed simultaneously. Here we present novel neural…

A central idea in modeling performance in cognitive tasks is dynamic competition among processes in separate channels, known as “race model”. This model implies a certain inequality between associated probability distributions under rather general conditions. The inequality represents an important empirical test of the…

When humans are required to perform two tasks concurrently, their performances decrease as the two tasks get closer together in time. This effect is known as dual-task interference. This limitation of the human brain could have lethal effects during demanding everyday tasks such as driving. Are the two tasks processed…

Efficient matching of incoming events of data streams to persistent queries is fundamental to event stream processing systems. These applications require dealing with high volume and continuous data streams with fast processing time on distributed complex event processing (CEP) systems. Therefore, a well-managed…

'Samuel Xavier‐de‐Souza'] Abstract. After Amdahl's trailblazing work, many other authors proposed analytical speedup models but none have considered the limiting effect of the memory wall. These models exploited aspects such as problem-size variation, memory size, communication overhead, and synchronization overhead…

Equipment parallel simulation is an emerging simulation technology in recent years, and equipment remaining useful life (RUL) prediction oriented parallel simulation is an important branch of parallel simulation. An important concept in equipment parallel simulation is the model evolution driven by real-time data…

The human brain efficiently solves certain operations such as object recognition and categorization through a massively parallel network of dedicated processors. However, human cognition also relies on the ability to perform an arbitrarily large set of tasks by flexibly recombining different processors into a novel…

'John Brunhaver' 'Ali Akoglu' 'Chaitali Chakrabarti'] Abstract—In this study, we introduce a methodology for automatically transforming user applications in the radar and communication domain written in C/C++ based on dynamic profiling to a parallel representation targeted for a heterogeneous SoC. We present our…

Although additive manufacturing using multi-photon direct laser writing is nowadays considered as a major tool in the fabrication of future nano/micro-objects and optical components, it is currently limited by the low throughput of the writing process. To circumvent this issue, massive parallelization of the write…

Microalgae-based tertiary wastewater treatment has the potential to meet stringent effluent phosphorus limits, with the added benefit of producing a marketable feedstock. However, the lack of validated mechanistic models and their implementation in process simulators have limited the adoption of this technology. In…

Business processes usually do not exist as singular entities that can be managed in isolation, but rather as families of business process variants. When modelling such families of variants, analysts are confronted with the choice between modelling each variant separately, or modelling multiple or all variants in a…

Background: Pharmaceutical batch scheduling in multi-reactor configurations presents complex optimization challenges under operational uncertainty, yet limited research addresses how parallel processing capacity affects heuristic performance and predictive modeling. Objectives: This study investigated scheduling…
