title: Effects of video modelling on social skills among newly employed adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intellectual Disability

authors: Jot, Gin Vern

subjects: Video Modelling

abstract: One of the main challenges for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intellectual Disability in seeking and securing employment is their social skills. While many studies have investigated different methods to enhance their social skills, there is limited research on the usage of Video Modelling as social skills intervention for this group. This study investigated the effect of Video Modelling for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intellectual Disability on social behaviours in an employment setting. Results show that there was an immediate increase in target behaviours when video modelling was used. However, improvements in the target behaviour were not maintained. Due to multiple limitations, results for this study are inconclusive, but it is worthy to further investigate video modelling as an intervention for social skills in future studies.

title: Design and analysis of an efficient distributed event notification service

authors: Bittner, Sven

subjects: computer science

abstract: Event Notification Services (ENS) use the publish/subscribe paradigm to continuously inform subscribers about events they are interested in. Subscribers define their interest in so-called profiles. The event information is provided by event publishers, filtered by the service against the profiles, and then send to the subscribers. In real-time systems such as facility management, an efficiency filter component is one of the most important design goals.
In this paper, we present our analysis and evaluation of efficient distributed filtering algorithms. Firstly, we propose a classification and first-cut analysis of distributed filtering algorithms. Secondly, based on the classification we describe our analysis of selected algorithms. Thirdly, we describe our ENS prototype DAS that includes three filtering algorithms. This prototype is tested with respect to efficiency, network traffic and memory consumption. In this paper, we discuss the results of our practical analysis in detail.
