, especially as pertains to their antecedents and consequences. Finally, such a model, if proven valid, should provide a better understanding of the process involved in dropping out of high school, thereby leading to potential insights concerning future interventions with this population. Below, we present

Very large scale computations are now becoming routinely used as a metliodology to undertake scientific research. In this context,)provenance systems ’ are regarded as the equivazent of the scientist’s logbook far in silico experimenlation: provenance captures the documentation of the process

with diminishing returns to scale. The adjusted R 2 in model (3) is 13.6%. Because fund sequence number appears to have little effect on fund performance in our dataset, and because it is frequently unavailable in the Venture Economics database, we replace it with a dummy equaling one for first-time funds. We also

of a well-defined workflow, but may limit the analysis of unstructured processes such as interactive desktop computing. In this paper, we present a new approach to capturing provenance based on full execution record and replay. Our approach leverages full-system execution trace logging and replay

Abstract — Analysis of workflows in terms of structural correct-ness is important for ensuring the quality of workflow models. Typically, this analysis is only one step in a larger development process, followed by further transformation steps that lead from high-level models to more refined models

, there have been a number of IBE schemes proven secure without random oracles, such as BTE from where r is chosen by the encryptor and g, g 1 , g 3 , and e(g 1 ,ĝ 2 ) are public system parameters. Notice, there are now two elements in G, and between them there is enough redundancy to determine whether a

cost, schedule, and quality. As a result of their analysis, the authors conclude that successful acquisition risk management is based on: (1) providing educated leadership and a supportive organizational culture, (2) adapting proven best practices in response to specific circumstances, and (3

Several algorithms for learning near-optimal policies in Markov Decision Processes have been analyzed and proven efficient. Empirical results have suggested that Model-based Interval Estimation (MBIE) learns efficiently in practice, effectively balancing exploration and exploitation. This paper

ABSTRACT In this paper we discuss various aspects in intelligence analysis relating to provenance and the new requirements resulting from the changed nature of terrorist activities. We propose a three-layer provenance model which relates the scope of provenance to the intelligence workflow

for measurement error by setting an error variance equal to ( 2 ). Results No association was found between self-concordance and job performance. Positive associations were found between self-concordance and job satisfaction (r ϭ .18 and r ϭ .12 for self-and significant-other reports), organizational commitment
