Technology push demand pull and the shaping of technological paradigms patterns in the development of Computing Technology
Journal of Evolutionary Economics, 2005Co-Authors: Jan Van Den Ende, Wilfred DolfsmaAbstract:An assumption generally subscribed to in evolutionary economics is that new technological paradigms arise from advances is science and developments in technological knowledge. Further, demand only influences the selection among competing paradigms, and the course of the paradigm after its inception. In this paper, we argue that this view needs to be qualified and modified. We demonstrate that, in the history of Computing Technology in the 20th century, a distinction can be made between periods in which either demand or knowledge development played the bigger role in shaping the technological paradigms. In the demand enabled periods, new technological (sub-)paradigms in Computing Technology have emerged as well.

Technology push demand pull and the shaping of technological paradigms patterns in the development of Computing Technology
2002Co-Authors: Jan Van Den Ende, Wilfred DolfsmaAbstract:An assumption generally subscribed in evolutionary economics is that new technological paradigms arise from advances is science and developments in technological knowledge. Demand only influences the selection among competing paradigms, and the course the paradigm after its inception. In this paper we argue that this view needs to be adapted. We demonstrate that in the history of Computing Technology in the 20th century a distinction can be made between periods in which either demand or knowledge development was the dominant enabler of innovation. In the demand enabled periods new technological (sub-) paradigms in Computing Technology have emerged as well.

Beliefs about the social roles and capabilities of Computing Technology: development of the Computing Technology continuum of perspective
Behaviour & Information Technology, 2008Co-Authors: Richard D. Johnson, George M. Marakas, Jonathan W. PalmerAbstract:Using data from 1216 students and professionals, this research developed a new construct focusing on beliefs about the social role and capabilities of Computing Technology, the Computing Technology continuum of perspective (CP). Results indicated that individuals have different beliefs about the social role and capabilities of Computing Technology along four dimensions, including beliefs about: 1) intelligence; 2) socialness; 3) control; 4) control of rights. Results further indicated that an individual's CP was related to gender, experience with computers, as well as locus of control, self-esteem, neuroticism and general computer self-efficacy. Implications are drawn for future research investigating various beliefs about the social role and capabilities of Computing Technology.

Differential social attributions toward Computing Technology: An empirical investigation
International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 2006Co-Authors: Richard D. Johnson, George M. Marakas, Jonathan W. PalmerAbstract:A debate exists as to whether social cues should be intentionally designed into the user interface. Some have argued that such interfaces will improve comfort with the interface, create a more natural interaction and improve productivity, although others have argued that these interfaces will lead individuals to ascribe characteristics and responsibilities to Computing Technology that it does not have. Despite the debate, limited research has focused on the impact these interfaces have on how people ascribe responsibility to Computing Technology. Drawing from social psychology, empirical work regarding social responses toward Computing Technology, and attribution theory, this research empirically tests a model developed by Marakas et al. [2000. A theoretical model of differential social attributions toward Computing Technology: when the metaphor becomes the model. International Journal of Human Computer Studies 52, 719-750] which identifies and explains several of the factors that contribute to differential social attributions toward Computing Technology. Using data from 240 students and professionals, results from a laboratory study indicate that attributions toward Computing Technology are influenced by an individual's core self-evaluations, their generalized beliefs about the social role of Computing Technology and the nature of the computer interface used. Specifically, the results provide support for the argument that certain individuals do indeed attribute independent agency to Computing Technology and respond accordingly, and that this propensity is magnified when exposed to a computer with a distinctly social interface. Implications for both the applied and academic research communities are discussed.

INFLUENCE OF INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAITS ON ATTRIBUTION TOWARD Computing Technology
2002Co-Authors: Natalia G. Falaleeva, Richard D. JohnsonAbstract:While traditional research has focused on the computer as a tool, more recent research has begun to explore the myriad of social responses that people make toward Computing Technology. This paper describes an ongoing research project that focuses on social attributions toward Computing Technology. Marakas, Johnson, & Palmer (2000) have suggested that individual psychological responses play an important role in predicting social attributions toward Computing Technology. Using a controlled laboratory study, this research investigates how four key psychological traits (locus of control, general computer self-efficacy, neuroticism, and self-esteem) influence social attributions toward Computing Technology.

Tool or social actor? factors contributing to differential social attributions toward Computing Technology
2001Co-Authors: Richard D. Johnson, Jonathan W. Palmer, George M. MarakasAbstract:While the vast majority of research focusing on the role of Computing Technology has concentrated on the computer as a tool, recent research has started to investigate the symbolic nature of computers and their social role. This stream of research has suggested that given certain social cues, people will interact in social ways with Computing Technology. While people may indeed behave socially when interacting with computers, not everyone is likely to make a judgment that Technology is, in some way, a social actor. Instead, they may believe that it is simply a tool that they control. Using attribution theory as a lens, this research developed and validated a model of the factors that contribute to differential social attributions toward Computing Technology using a controlled laboratory study. To support this research two new measures of differential social perceptions of, and attributions toward, Computing Technology were developed, the Computing Technology continuum of perspective (CP) and attributions toward Computing Technology. Results indicate that the newly developed measures exhibit strong psychometric properties and reflect their theoretical constructs well. The results also indicate that both the interface and an individual's continuum of perspective act together to influence attributions toward Computing Technology. Results also indicate a moderating effect of CP on the relationship between the interface and the ultimate attributions toward Computing Technology. Overall this research provides evidence to the importance of considering both the perceptions that individual's bring to their interactions with Technology and the influence of the interface as related to how people actually end up perceiving the Technology that they use. The implications surrounding the results found in this study are discussed.

Application of multi-core parallel Computing Technology in risk monitors
2011Co-Authors: Fds TeamAbstract:Risk monitors provide a real-time analysis for the risk level of nuclear power plant,and generally there are many states in a schedule,so there is a demand for calculating speed.These states are calculated one after another in traditional method,which brings about a waste of Computing resources of the multi-core processor.A multi-core parallel Computing method which can apply in risk monitor is provided,and there is a primary discussion on the application of multi-core parallel Computing Technology in the field of probability safety assessment(PSA).Results show that the Computing performance is highly improved after the application of multi-core parallel Computing Technology.
