Whom You Know Matters: Venture Capital Networks and Investment Performance,
- Journal of Finance
, 2007
"... Abstract Many financial markets are characterized by strong relationships and networks, rather than arm's-length, spot-market transactions. We examine the performance consequences of this organizational choice in the context of relationships established when VCs syndicate portfolio company inv ..."

an overview of network analysis techniques and discusses their implementation in the VC context. A simple example illustrating network analysis is presented in the Appendix. Section II describes our data. In Section III, we analyze the effect of VC networking on fund performance. Section IV examines

on mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The provided implementation of the game contains a centralized communication component that logs the network communication between players and therefore, is usable for data collection of network traffic in MANETs. The collected data
22.10.2009 Implementation of a Peer-to-Peer Multiplayer Game with Realtime Requirements
"... Massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) have become increasingly popular in the recent years, particularly in the form of online role-playing games (MMORPGs). These games support up to several ten thousand players interacting in a virtual game world. The current commercially successful games are ..."

serious alternative. This work analyzes the implementation of both a client-server and a peer-to-peer networking model for the prototype shooter game Planet π4. Initially, a survey introduces recent academic approaches to peer-to-peer systems specifically designed for games. Of those, one system
© Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2012 Statistical Modeling of Spatial Extremes1
"... Abstract. The areal modeling of the extremes of a natural process such as rainfall or temperature is important in environmental statistics; for example, understanding extreme areal rainfall is crucial in flood protection. This ar-ticle reviews recent progress in the statistical modeling of spatial e ..."

The main types of statistical models thus far proposed, based on latent variables, on copulas and on spatial max-stable processes, are described and then are compared by application to a data set
MODELING EXTREME VALUES OF PROCESSES OBSERVED AT IRREGULAR TIME STEPS: APPLICATION TO
"... This work is motivated by the analysis of the extremal behavior of buoy and satellite data describing wave conditions in the North Atlantic Ocean. The available data sets consist of time series of significant wave height (Hs) with irregular time sampling. In such a situation, the usual statistical m ..."

methods for analyzing extreme values cannot be used directly. The method proposed in this paper is an extension of the peaks over threshold (POT) method, where the distribution of a process above a high threshold is approximated by a max-stable process whose parameters are estimated by maximizing a
