As simulation is increasingly used in scenario-based approaches to test Automated Driving Systems, the credibility of simulation results is a major concern. Arguably, credibility depends on the validity of the simulation setup and simulation models. When selecting appropriate simulation models, a trade-off must be made between validity, often connected to the model's fidelity, and cost of computation. However, due to the large number of test cases, expert-based methods to create sufficiently valid simulation setups seem infeasible. We propose using design contracts in order to semi-automatically compose simulation setups for given test cases from simulation models and to derive requirements for the simulation models, supporting separation of concerns between simulation model developers and users. Simulation model contracts represent their validity domains by capturing a validity guarantee and the associated operating conditions in an assumption. We then require the composition of the simulation model contracts to refine a test case contract. The latter contract captures the operating conditions of the test case in its assumption and validity requirements in its guarantee. Based on this idea, we present a framework that supports the compositional configuration of simulation setups based on the contracts and a method to derive runtime monitors for these simulation setups., Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures.

ImportanceWhen an emerging infectious disease outbreak occurs, such as COVID-19, institutions of higher education (IHEs) must weigh decisions about how to operate their campuses. These decisions entail whether campuses should remain open, how courses should be delivered (in-person, online, or a mixture of the two), and what safety plans should be enacted for those on campus. These issues have weighed heavily on campus administrators during the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is still limited knowledge about how such decisions affect students' enrollment decisions and campus safety in practice when considering compliance.ObjectivesTo assess 1) students' willingness to comply with health protocols and contrast their perception of their classmates' compliance, 2) whether students prefer in-person or online learning during a pandemic, and 3) the importance weights of different aspects of campus operations (i.e., modes of course delivery and safety plans) for students when they decide to enroll or defer.Design setting and participantsAn internet-based survey of college students took place from June 25, 2020 to July 10, 2020. Participants included 398 industrial engineering students at the Georgia Institute of Technology, a medium-size public university in Atlanta, Georgia. The survey included a discrete choice experiment with questions that asked students to choose whether to enroll or defer when presented with hypothetical scenarios related to Fall 2020 modes of course delivery and aspects of campus safety. The survey also asked students about expected compliance with health protocols, whether they preferred in-person or online courses, and sociodemographic information.Main outcomes and measuresWe examine students' willingness to comply with potential health protocols. We estimated logistic regression models to infer significant factors that lead to a student's choice between in-person and online learning. Additionally, we estimated discrete choice models to

This paper is the first in a series in which we offer a new framework for hermitian K-theory in the realm of stable infinity-categories. Our perspective yields solutions to a variety of classical problems involving Grothendieck-Witt groups of rings and clarifies the behaviour of these invariants when 2 is not invertible. In the present article we lay the foundations of our approach by considering Lurie's notion of a Poincare infinity-category, which permits an abstract counterpart of unimodular forms called Poincare objects. We analyse the special cases of hyperbolic and metabolic Poincare objects, and establish a version of Ranicki's algebraic Thom construction. For derived infinity-categories of rings, we classify all Poincare structures and study in detail the process of deriving them from classical input, thereby locating the usual setting of forms over rings within our framework. We also develop the example of visible Poincare structures on infinity-categories of parametrised spectra, recovering the visible signature of a Poincare duality space. We conduct a thorough investigation of the global structural properties of Poincare infinity-categories, showing in particular that they form a bicomplete, closed symmetric monoidal infinity-category. We also study the process of tensoring and cotensoring a Poincare infinity-category over a finite simplicial complex, a construction featuring prominently in the definition of the L- and Grothendieck-Witt spectra that we consider in the next instalment. Finally, we define already here the 0th Grothendieck-Witt group of a Poincare infinity-category using generators and relations. We extract its basic properties, relating it in particular to the 0th L- and algebraic K-groups, a relation upgraded in the second instalment to a fibre sequence of spectra which plays a key role in our applications., QC 20221212

The social and sensory aspects of touch are critical for human communication, yet the challenges of haptic technology development and a focus on the technological means that digital touch communication often fails to realise the potential and promise of touch. The Manifesto for Digital Social Touch in Crisis responds to this through a call to action to rethink and reimagine digital touch. It offers 10 provocative statements as a resource for how haptic designers, developers and researchers might rethink and reimagine the social and sensory aspects of touch, and foreground these more in design., Human Information Communication Design

This qualitative exploratory research paper presents a Manifesto for Digital Social Touch in Crisis - a provocative call to action to designers, developers and researchers to rethink and reimagine social touch through a deeper engagement with the social and sensory aspects of touch. This call is motivated by concerns that social touch is in a crisis signaled by a decline in social touch over the past 2 decades, the problematics of inappropriate social touch, and the well documented impact of a lack of social touch on communication, relationships, and well-being and health. These concerns shape how social touch enters the digital realm and raise questions for how and when the complex space of social touch is mediated by technologies, as well the societal implications. The paper situates the manifesto in the key challenges facing haptic designers and developers identified through a series of interdisciplinary collaborative workshops with participants from computer science, design, engineering, HCI and social science from both within industry and academia, and the research literature on haptics. The features and purpose of the manifesto form are described, along with our rationale for its use, and the method of the manifesto development. The starting points, opportunities and challenges, dominant themes and tensions that shaped the manifesto statements are then elaborated on. The paper shows the potential of the manifesto form to bridge between HCI, computer science and engineers, and social scientists on the topic of social touch.

Copyright © 2019 Association of Computing Machinery. Mutual capacitance-based multi-touch sensing is now a ubiquitous and high-fidelity input technology. However, due to the complexity of electrical and signal processing requirements, it remains very challenging to create interface prototypes with custom-designed multi-touch input surfaces. In this paper, we introduce Multi-Touch Kit, a technique enabling electronics novices to rapidly prototype customized capacitive multi-touch sensors. In contrast to existing techniques, it works with a commodity microcontroller and open-source software and does not require any specialized hardware. Evaluation results show that our approach enables multi-touch sensors with a high spatial and temporal resolution and can accurately detect multiple simultaneous touches. A set of application examples demonstrates the versatile uses of our approach for sensors of different scales, curvature, and materials.

To successfully launch automated vehicles into the consumer market, there must be credible proof that the vehicles will operate safely. However, finding a method to validate the vehicles' safe operation is a challenging problem. While scenario-based test approaches seem to be possible solutions, they require execution of a large number of test cases. Several test benches, ranging from actual test vehicles to partly or fully simulated environments, are available to execute these test cases. Each test bench provides different elements, which in turn, have different parameters and parameter ranges. The composition of elements with their specific parameter values at a specific test bench that is used to execute a test case is referred to as a test bench configuration. However, selecting the most suitable test bench configuration is difficult. The selected test bench configuration determines whether the execution of a specific test case provides sufficiently valid test case results with respect to the intended purpose, for example, validating a vehicle's safe operation. The effective and efficient execution of a large number of test cases requires a method for systematically assigning test cases to the most suitable test bench configuration. Based on a proposed method for classifying test bench configurations, we propose and illustrate a method for systematically assigning test cases to test bench configurations in a scenario-based test approach for automated vehicles. This assignment method allows for the effective and efficient execution of a large number of test cases while generating sufficiently valid test case results., Comment: Published in IEEE Access, vol. 10, pp. 6260-6285, 2022, doi: 10.1109/ACCESS.2022.3141198

Ensuring and validating the safe operation of automated vehicles are key challenges for their market launch. Scenario-based development and test approaches are currently being pursued as possible solutions. An essential prerequisite for researching, applying, and standardizing these approaches is a consistent and agreed-upon taxonomy. This taxonomy must include relevant terms, their description, and the relationships between the respective terms. To the best of our knowledge, such a taxonomy does not yet exist, which often leads to misunderstandings, for example, in coordination processes and discussions. This publication contributes to this taxonomy. For this purpose, we propose a framework for structuring the taxonomy. Within this framework, we propose a basic vocabulary by identifying and describing terms that we consider particularly relevant for an overview of such scenario-based development and test approaches. Additionally, we visualize the proposed terms and the relationships between these terms with UML diagrams and explain the application of the proposed basic vocabulary with an example., Comment: Published in IEEE Access, vol. 9, pp. 147828- 147854, 2021, doi: 10.1109/ACCESS.2021.3123504

Ensuring the quality of automated driving systems is a major challenge the automotive industry is facing. In this context, quality defines the degree to which an object meets expectations and requirements. Especially, automated vehicles at SAE level 4 and 5 will be expected to operate safely in various contexts and complex situations without misconduct. Thus, a systematic approach is needed to show their safe operation. A way to address this challenge is simulation-based testing as pure physical testing is not feasible. During simulation-based testing, the data used to evaluate the actual quality of an automated driving system are generated using a simulation. However, to rely on these simulation data, the overall simulation, which also includes its simulation models, must provide a certain quality level. This quality level depends on the intended purpose for which the generated simulation data should be used. Therefore, three categories of quality can be considered: quality of the automated driving system and simulation quality, consisting of simulation model quality and scenario quality. Hence, quality must be determined and evaluated in various process steps in developing and testing automated driving systems, the overall simulation, and the simulation models used for the simulation. In this paper, we propose a taxonomy to serve a better understanding of the concept of quality in the development and testing process to have a clear separation and insight where further testing is needed -- both in terms of automated driving systems and simulation, including their simulation models and scenarios used for testing., Comment: IEEE Access (submitted)

On-body technologies are emerging as a new paradigm in human-computer interaction. Instead of moving a mouse or tapping a touch surface, people can use whole-body movements to navigate in games, gesture in mid-air to interact with large displays, or touch their forearm to control a mobile phone. First promising applications are being investigated or have been demonstrated in mobile computing, healthcare, or sports. Two areas of research have been contributing to this paradigm. Research on embodied cognition suggests that the body should no longer be treated as a passive actuator of input devices but as something that needs to be carefully designed for and as something that offers unique new possibilities in interaction. Embodied cognition has become a prominent candidate for outlining what we can and cannot do in on-body interaction. Research on interactive technologies for the body is opening up new avenues for human-computer interaction, by contributing body-based sensing input and output modalities with more body compatible form factors. Together, these areas allow the design and implementation of new user interfaces; however, they are rarely in direct contact with each other. The intended outcome of the seminar was a research agenda for on-body technologies based on synergies between these two views. We therefore brought together a group of researchers from embodied cognition (including psychology, robotics, human-computer interaction, and sociology) as well as sensor/actuator engineering (including computer science, materials science, electrical engineering). These groups worked together toward outlining a research agenda for on-body technologies, in part using a bottom-up process at the seminar, in part using structured answers to questions in advance of the seminar. Key topics for discussion included (1) advances in on-body sensors and actuators, in particular how to drive the technical development from work on embodied cognition and the body, (2) cognitive c
