Interrupt me: External interruptions are less disruptive than self-interruptions [PDF]

open access: yesComputers in Human Behavior, 2016
Interruptions are part of everyday life and are known to be disruptive. With, the current study we investigated which kind of interruption is more disruptive: external interruptions or self-interruptions. We conducted two experiments, one behavioral experiment (28 participants) and one in which pupil dilation was measured (21 participants).

Interrupts as threads

ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review, 1995
Most operating system implementations contain two fundamental forms of asynchrony; processes (or equivalently, internal threads) and interrupts. Processes (or threads) synchronize using primitives such as mutexes and condition variables, while interrupts are synchronized by preventing their occurrence for a period of time. The latter technique not only

Interrupts

Software: Practice and Experience, 1980
AbstractSome recent papers have included eulogies of the PDP‐11 architecture, and of its interrupt mechanism in particular. This is dangerous if it is to set a standard for the coming decade. This note presents the view that all interrupts should be serviced by dedicated processes. However, the feasibility of this is determined by machine architectures,

Ghost Interruption

ACM SIGGRAPH ASIA 2008 artgallery: emerging technologies, 2008
Ghost Interruption combines animation, contemporary dance choreography, and computer engineering to create an installation-type performance in which real-time interaction among animation, dancers, and viewers becomes a central part of the progression of the piece.

Interrupting the discourse on interruptions

Journal of Pragmatics, 1990
Abstract Analysts interested in the social significance of conversational behavior have traditionally treated interruptions as reliable, objective indicators of the interlocutors' power, control or dominance. The relational significance interruptions have for the participants themselves, however, was rarely considered.

Interruptible rendering

Proceedings of the 2003 symposium on Interactive 3D graphics, 2003
Interruptible rendering is a novel approach to the fidelity-versus-performance tradeoff ubiquitous in real-time rendering. Interruptible rendering unifies spatial error caused by rendering coarse approximations for speed and temporal error caused by the delay imposed by rendering into a single image-space error measure.

Modality and interrupts

Journal of Automated Reasoning, 1995
Conventional declarative systems are inappropriate for use in real time or other systems that provide only limited computational resources because of the unpredictable amount of time needed for them to respond to queries. With the purpose of to get over these difficulties the declarative language Prolog is expanded by the modal operator of necessity ...

Interrupts and Ada

ACM SIGAda Ada Letters, 1988
This paper discusses the issues involved in servicing interrupts in Ada, with reference to the mechanisms in (Refs. 1 and 2), and concludes that it can be done efficiently and reliably, but that some form of asynchronous communication is needed, and that this is best done explicitly using an additional run time system interface.

Interruptible rendering

ACM SIGGRAPH 2002 conference abstracts and applications, 2002
Interruptible rendering is a novel approach to the fidelity-versus-performance tradeoff ubiquitous in real-time rendering. Interruptible rendering unifies spatial error, caused by rendering coarse approximations for speed, and temporal error, caused by the delay imposed by rendering, into a single image-space error metric. The heart of this approach is
