The Cyclical Behavior of Equilibrium Unemployment and Vacancies

by Robert Shimer - American Economic Review , 2005
"... This paper argues that a broad class of search models cannot generate the observed business-cycle-frequency fluctuations in unemployment and job vacancies in response to shocks of a plausible magnitude. In the U.S., the vacancy-unemployment ratio is 20 times as volatile as average labor productivity ..."

productivity, while under weak assumptions, search models predict that the vacancy-unemployment ratio and labor productivity have nearly the same variance. I establish this claim both using analytical comparative statics in a very general deterministic search model and using simulations of a stochastic version

End-to-End Internet Packet Dynamics,”

by Vern Paxson - Proc. SIGCOMM '97, , 1997
"... Abstract We discuss findings from a large-scale study of Internet packet dynamics conducted by tracing 20,000 TCP bulk transfers between 35 Internet sites. Because we traced each 100 Kbyte transfer at both the sender and the receiver, the measurements allow us to distinguish between the end-to-end ..."

-to-end behaviors due to the different directions of the Internet paths, which often exhibit asymmetries. We characterize the prevalence of unusual network events such as out-of-order delivery and packet corruption; discuss a robust receiver-based algorithm for estimating "bottleneck bandwidth

The structure and function of complex networks

by M. E. J. Newman - SIAM REVIEW , 2003
"... Inspired by empirical studies of networked systems such as the Internet, social networks, and biological networks, researchers have in recent years developed a variety of techniques and models to help us understand or predict the behavior of these systems. Here we review developments in this field, ..."

Cognitive Radio: Brain-Empowered Wireless Communications

by Simon Haykin , 2005
"... Cognitive radio is viewed as a novel approach for improving the utilization of a precious natural resource: the radio electromagnetic spectrum. The cognitive radio, built on a software-defined radio, is defined as an intelligent wireless communication system that is aware of its environment and use ..."

the discussion of interference temperature as a new metric for the quantification and management of interference, the paper addresses three fundamental cognitive tasks. 1) Radio-scene analysis. 2) Channel-state estimation and predictive modeling. 3) Transmit-power control and dynamic spectrum management

An integrated theory of the mind

by John R. Anderson, Daniel Bothell, Michael D. Byrne, Scott Douglass, Christian Lebiere, Yulin Qin - PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW , 2004
"... There has been a proliferation of proposed mental modules in an attempt to account for different cognitive functions but so far there has been no successful account of their integration. ACT-R (Anderson & Lebiere, 1998) has evolved into a theory that consists of multiple modules but also explain ..."

together. One of these models is concerned with complex patterns of behavioral data in a dynamic task and the other is concerned with fMRI data obtained in a study of symbol manipulation.

The STATEMATE Semantics of Statecharts

by David Harel, Amnon Naamad , 1996
"... This article describes the semantics of the language of statecharts as implenented in the STATEMATE system [Harel et al. 1990; Harel and Politi 1996]. The initial version of this semantics was developed by a team about.10 years ago. With the added experience of the users of the system it has since b ..."

that exhibits an unacceptable kind of behavior in a statechart, which they say is what the "semantics of statecharts" leads to (pp. 695-697). Unfortunately, they base their discussion of statechart semantics on one of the many semantics proposed by various authors (that of Pnueli and Shalev [1991

A survey on visual surveillance of object motion and behaviors

by Weiming Hu, Tieniu Tan, Liang Wang, Steve Maybank - IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics , 2004
"... Abstract—Visual surveillance in dynamic scenes, especially for humans and vehicles, is currently one of the most active research topics in computer vision. It has a wide spectrum of promising applications, including access control in special areas, human identification at a distance, crowd flux stat ..."

statistics and congestion analysis, detection of anomalous behaviors, and interactive surveillance using multiple cameras, etc. In general, the processing framework of visual surveillance in dynamic scenes includes the following stages: modeling of environments, detection of motion, classification of moving

HyTech: A Model Checker for Hybrid Systems

by Thomas A. Henzinger, Pei-Hsin Ho, Howard Wong-toi - Software Tools for Technology Transfer , 1997
"... A hybrid system is a dynamical system whose behavior exhibits both discrete and continuous change. A hybrid automaton is a mathematical model for hybrid systems, which combines, in a single formalism, automaton transitions for capturing discrete change with differential equations for capturing conti ..."

Dynamic Textures

by Gianfranco Doretto, Alessandro Chiuso, Ying Nian Wu, Stefano Soatto , 2002
"... Dynamic textures are sequences of images of moving scenes that exhibit certain stationarity properties in time; these include sea-waves, smoke, foliage, whirlwind etc. We present a novel characterization of dynamic textures that poses the problems of modeling, learning, recognizing and synthesizing ..."

Meme-tracking and the Dynamics of the News Cycle

by Jure Leskovec , Lars Backstrom, Jon Kleinberg , 2009
"... Tracking new topics, ideas, and “memes” across the Web has been an issue of considerable interest. Recent work has developed methods for tracking topic shifts over long time scales, as well as abrupt spikes in the appearance of particular named entities. However, these approaches are less well suite ..."

algorithms for clustering textual variants of such phrases, we identify a broad class of memes that exhibit wide spread and rich variation on a daily basis. As our principal domain of study, we show how such a meme-tracking approach can provide a coherent representation of the news cycle — the daily rhythms
