A Java Simulator of the Human Attention

Implementation of the simulation algorithm of human attention described in the paper:

An improved version of the simulation algorithm and of the underlying multitasking modeling framework has been proposed in the PhD thesis of Giovanna Broccia, currently under review. The simulation algorithm has been used in the context of an experiment which involved also real users performing a multitasking test, for validation purposes. The experiment is descirebed here:

Java source code:

The improved version of the tool consists of a set of Java classes. The main method is in class "Experiment" and it automatically executes the tests of the validation experiment. In order to use the simulator for other experiments, a new main method has to be developed. Such method should invoke method "simulate" of the "Simulator" class to start the simulation.
