The Time-Complexity of Local Decision in Distributed Agreement

Rachid Guerraoui, Bastian Pochon, Partha Dutta

Agreement is at the heart of distributed computing. In its simple form, it requires a set of processes to decide on a common value out of the values they propose. The time-complexity of distributed agreement problems is generally measured in terms of the n ...

Dynamic Origin-Destination Matrices Estimation Method for urban Networks

André-Gilles Dumont, Edward Chung, Emmanuel Bert

The aim of this paper is to explore a new approach to obtain better traffic demand (Origin-Destination, OD matrices) in case of dense urban networks. To improve the global process of OD demand estimation, this paper is focussing on a new methodology to exe ...

From material flow analysis to material flow management Part II: the role of structural agent analysis

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer

This paper presents a heuristic for supporting the transition from material flow analysis to material flow management. The heuristic combines material flow analysis with a newly developed method, structural agent analysis (SAA). The latter is based on Gidd ...

Trust-inspiring explanation interfaces for recommender systems

Pearl Pu Faltings, Li Chen

A recommender system's ability to establish trust with users and convince them of its recommendations, such as which camera or PC to purchase, is a crucial design factor especially for e-commerce environments. This observation led us to build a trust model ...

Detecting Intentional Mental Transitions in an Asynchronous BCI

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Pierre Ferrez

The inclusion of mental tasks transitions detection (MTTD) has proven a useful tool in guiding the transduction process of a BCI working under an asynchronous protocol. MTTD allows for the extraction of the signal's contextual information in order to infer ...

Reverse feedback induces position and orientation specific changes

Michael Herzog

To investigate the mechanisms of perceptual learning, we recently introduced a paradigm in which incorrect, reverse feedback followed after some but not all vernier presentations. This feedback paradigm exerted a strong effect on performance that seemed to ...
