and remembered utility; that is, the way people feel about experiences in real-time and the way they remember their experiences after they are over. The participants in experiments in which a physical stimulus is varied generally provide profiles that are similar, both in level and in shape, and that respond
Energy Consumption in Mobile Phones: A Measurement Study and Implications for Network Applications
, 2009
"... In this paper, we present a measurement study of the energy consumption characteristics of three widespread mobile networking technologies: 3G, GSM, and WiFi. We find that 3G and GSM incur a high tail energy overhead because of lingering in high power states after completing a transfer. Based on the ..."

from prefetching, TailEnder aggressively prefetches several times more data and improves user-specified response times while consuming less energy. We evaluate the benefits of TailEnder for three different case study applications—email, news feeds, and web search—based on real user logs and show
Collaborative filtering with privacy via factor analysis
- In Proceedings of the 25th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval
, 2002
"... Collaborative filtering is valuable in e-commerce, and for direct recommendations for music, movies, news etc. But today’s systems use centralized databases and have several disadvantages, including privacy risks. As we move toward ubiquitous computing, there is a great potential for individuals to ..."

Assessing coping flexibility in real-life and laboratory settings: A multimethod approach
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
, 2001
"... This research sought to formulate a theoretically based conceptualization of coping flexibility and to adopt a multimethod approach in assessing this construct. A self-report daily measure and an experiment were designed geared to theoretical and empirical grounds. The new daily measure was used in ..."

and further revealed consistency between the self-report and the experiment data. Study 3 extended previous studies by adopting a longitudinal design over a 3-month time span. Participants ' flexibility in coping with laboratory tasks was found to predict how flexible they would be in handling real-life
Challenges, Design and Analysis of a Large-scale P2P VoD System
- In Proc. ACM Sigcomm
, 2008
"... P2P file downloading and streaming have already become very popular Internet applications. These systems dramatically reduce the server loading, and provide a platform for scalable content distribution, as long as there is interest for the content. P2P-based video-on-demand (P2P-VoD) is a new challe ..."
