MyLearningMentor: A Mobile App to Support Learners Participating in MOOCs
"... Abstract: MOOCs have brought a revolution to education. However, their impact is mainly benefiting people with Higher Education degrees. The lack of support and personalized advice in MOOCs is causing that many of the learners that have not developed work habits and selflearning skills give them up ..."

-server architecture that makes use of external services (MOOC platforms). The client is a mobile application. The server includes 5 services, 3 databases, and several processes (3 in this example) that collect information from the external services. Arrows pointing at the databases indicate services or processes

However, given the dif culty of the task, and the necessarily collective character of this endeavour, what is presented here should be considered, literally, as materials to be used in the building of a
Correcting for endogeneity in strategic management research”.
- Strategic Organization,
, 2003
"... The field of strategic management is predicated fundamentally on the idea that managements' decisions are endogenous to their expected performance implications. Yet, based on a review of more than a decade of empirical research in the SMJ, we find that few papers econometrically correct for su ..."

, estimating unbiased coefficients for these problems requires econometric methods that account for omitted variables. Such methods statistically correct for management's self-selection of a particular strategy. Failure to account for endogeneity can have important consequences. For instance, 1
Self-concordance at work: Toward understanding the motivational effects of transformational leaders.
- Academy of Management Journal,
, 2003
"... We extend existing theories by linking transformational leadership to "self-concordance" at work. In two studies using diverse samples and methods, leader behaviors were associated with follower tendencies to set self-concordant goals. In general, followers of transformational leaders vie ..."

Collection Tree Protocol
"... This paper presents and evaluates two principles for designing robust, reliable, and efficient collection protocols. These principles allow a protocol to benefit from accurate and agile link estimators by handling the dynamism such estimators introduce to routing tables. The first is datapath valida ..."

USING JUDGMENT TO MEASURE THE ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
"... Practicing accountants commonly apply judgment when computing financial statement numbers. However, intermediate accounting textbooks rarely discuss judgment, leaving accounting students with the erroneous impression that accounting computations each have “one right answer. ” The purpose of this pap ..."

of this paper is to correct that impression with examples of how judgment is applied to the reporting of accounts receivable. The background reading describes factors affecting the collectibility of accounts receivable, and a group class exercise has students apply judgment to compute allowance account balances
See What You Want to See: Motivational Influences on Visual Perception,”
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,
, 2006
"... People's motivational states-their wishes and preferences-influence their processing of visual stimuli. In 5 studies, participants shown an ambiguous figure (e.g., one that could be seen either as the letter B or the number 13) tended to report seeing the interpretation that assigned them to o ..."

Magnet: Robust and Efficient Collection through Control and Data Plane Integration
"... Despite being a core networking primitive, collection protocols today often suffer from poor reliability (e.g., 70%) in practice, and heavily used protocols have never been evaluated in terms of communication efficiency. Using detailed experimental studies, we describe three challenges that cause ex ..."

An Improved Threshold Ring Signature Scheme Based on Error Correcting Codes
"... Abstract. The concept of threshold ring signature in code-based cryptography was introduced by Aguilar et al. in [1]. Their proposal uses Stern’s identification scheme as basis. In this paper we construct a novel threshold ring signature scheme built on the q-SD identification scheme recently propos ..."

Identifying and Accounting for Task-Dependent Bias in Crowdsourcing
"... Models for aggregating contributions by crowd workers have been shown to be challenged by the rise of task-specific biases or errors. Task-dependent errors in as-sessment may shift the majority opinion of even large numbers of workers to an incorrect answer. We intro-duce and evaluate probabilistic ..."

First, we show how to build and use probabilistic graphical mod-els for jointly modeling task features, workers ’ biases, worker contributions and ground truth answers of tasks so that task-dependent bias can be corrected. Second, we
