Relatively robust decisions

Thomas Alois Weber

It is natural for humans to judge the outcome of a decision under uncertainty as a percentage of an ex-post optimal performance. We propose a robust decision-making framework based on a relative performance index. It is shown that if the decision maker's p ...

Multi-scale evaluation of a 3D lake model forced by an atmospheric model against standard monitoring data

Sebastiano Piccolroaz, Marco Toffolon

Evaluating a three-dimensional lake model requires large datasets of many variables, including velocity fields, that are seldom available. Here we discuss how to assess the performance of a model at multiple scales (in time and space) with data from standa ...

Probing the Material Loss and Optical Nonlinearity of Integrated Photonic Materials

Tobias Kippenberg, Guanhao Huang, Junqiu Liu

Optical absorption and nonlinear index are important performance drivers in devices like microcombs and parametric oscillators. Here we use resonance-enhanced nonlinear spectroscopy to characterize absorption limits and nonlinear index for some integrated ...

Toward a remote assessment of walking bout and speed: application in patients with multiple sclerosis

Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Benoît Mariani, Arash Atrsaei

Gait speed as a powerful biomarker of mobility is mostly assessed in controlled environments, e.g. in the clinic. With wearable inertial sensors, gait speed can be estimated in an objective manner. However, most of the previous works have validated the gai ...

Immunizing Systems from Distant Failures by Limiting Lamport Exposure

Bryan Alexander Ford, Cristina Basescu

Failures far away from a user should intuitively be less likely to affect that user. Today's ecosystem miserably fails this test, however, despite high-availability best practices. Correlated and cascading failures – triggered by misconfigurations, bugs, a ...
