Structural Equation Modeling And Regression: Guidelines For Research Practice

by David Gefen, Detmar W. Straub, Marie-Claude Boudreau - COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS , 2000
"... The growing interest in Structured Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques and recognition of their importance in IS research suggests the need to compare and contrast different types of SEM techniques so that research designs can be appropriately selected. After assessing the extent to which these techn ..."

regression models and offers guidelines as to when SEM techniques and when regression techniques should be used. The article concludes with heuristics and rule of thumb thresholds to guide practice, and a discussion of the extent to which practice is in accord with these guidelines.

Making Large-Scale Support Vector Machine Learning Practical

by Thorsten Joachims , 1998
"... Training a support vector machine (SVM) leads to a quadratic optimization problem with bound constraints and one linear equality constraint. Despite the fact that this type of problem is well understood, there are many issues to be considered in designing an SVM learner. In particular, for large lea ..."

Seven principles for good practice in undergraduate education

by W. Chickering, Zelda F. Gamson , 1987
"... Apathetic students, illiterate graduates, incompetent teaching, impersonal campuses-- so rolls the drumfire of criticism of higher education. More than two years of reports have spelled out the problems. States have been quick to respond by holding out carrots and beating with sticks. There are neit ..."

To provide a focus for their work, we offer seven principles based on research on good teaching and learning in colleges and universities. Good practice in undergraduate education: 1. Encourages contacts between students and faculty. 2

Understanding Code Mobility

by Alfonso Fuggetta, Gian Pietro Picco, Giovanni Vigna - IEEE COMPUTER SCIENCE PRESS , 1998
"... The technologies, architectures, and methodologies traditionally used to develop distributed applications exhibit a variety of limitations and drawbacks when applied to large scale distributed settings (e.g., the Internet). In particular, they fail in providing the desired degree of configurability, ..."

approaches. In turn, this limits our ability to fully exploit them in practice, and to further promote the research work on mobile code. Indeed, a significant symptom of this situation is the lack of a commonly accepted and sound definition of the term "mobile code" itself. This paper presents a

Designing a Super-peer Network

by Beverly Yang, Hector Garcia-m , 2003
"... Despite their growing popularity, the behavior of super-peernetworks is not well understood. For example, what are the potential drawbacks of super-peer networks? How can super-peers be made more reliable? How many clients should a superpeer take on to maximize efficiency? In this paper we examinesu ..."
Abstract - Cited by 414 (11 self) - Add to MetaCart
examinesuper-peer networks in detail, gaining an understanding of their fundamental characteristics and performance tradeoffs. We alsopresent practical guidelines and a general procedure for the design of an efficient super-peer network.

Stable Internet Routing Without Global Coordination

by Lixin Gao - IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking , 2000
"... The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) allows an autonomous system (AS) to apply diverse local policies for selecting routes and propagating reachability information to other domains. However, BGP permits ASes to have conflicting policies that can lead to routing instability. This paper proposes a set of ..."

Breaking Spectrum Gridlock with Cognitive Radios: An Information Theoretic Perspective

by Andrea Goldsmith, Syed Ali Jafar, Ivana Marić, Sudhir Srinivasa , 2008
"... Cognitive radios hold tremendous promise for increasing spectral efficiency in wireless systems. This paper surveys the fundamental capacity limits and associated transmission techniques for different wireless network design paradigms based on this promising technology. These paradigms are unified b ..."

Privacy-Preserving Data Publishing: A Survey on Recent Developments

by Benjamin C. M. Fung, Ke Wang, Rui Chen, Philip S. Yu
"... The collection of digital information by governments, corporations, and individuals has created tremendous opportunities for knowledge- and information-based decision making. Driven by mutual benefits, or by regulations that require certain data to be published, there is a demand for the exchange an ..."

Data in its original form, however, typically contains sensitive information about individuals, and publishing such data will violate individual privacy. The current practice in data publishing relies mainly on policies and guidelines as to what types of data can
