Performance Contracts for Software Network Functions

George Candea, Solal Vincenzo Pirelli, Rishabh Ramesh Iyer, Arseniy Zaostrovnykh, Luis David Figueiredo Mascarenhas Moreira Pedrosa

Software network functions (NFs), or middleboxes, promise flexibility and easy deployment of network services but face the serious challenge of unexpected performance behaviour. We propose the notion of a performance contract, a construct formulated in ter ...

When and why performance goals predict exploitation behaviors: An achievement goal complex analysis of the selection function of assessment

Fabrizio Butera, David Nguyen, Hamza Sehaqui, Kevin Fahrni, Martin Jobin, Nicolas Sommet

We adopted an achievement goal complex framework (studying achievement goals and reasons connected to goals) to determine when and why performance goals predict exploitation of others' knowledge. We hypothesized that: (i) when selective assessment is used ...

Lean synthesis and application to lower-limb exoskeletons

Tristan Hubert Vouga

Mobility impairments are the most prevalent of all disabilities, affecting the life of nearly one in 20 individuals in developed countries. In the most severe cases, they can have dramatic consequences for the social, mental and physical well-being of thos ...

Trait anxiety on effort allocation to monetary incentives: a behavioral and high-density EEG study

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues, Alina Veronika Irene Strasser

Trait anxiety is an important phenotype in the prediction of stress-induced neuropsychiatric disorders. While the role of trait anxiety in mental effort and cognitive impairment is well documented, much less is known about its influence on motivated behavi ...

Placement of Virtual Containers on NUMA systems: A Practical and Comprehensive Model

Baptiste Joseph Eustache Lepers

Our work addresses the problem of placement of threads, or virtual cores, onto physical cores in a multicore NUMA system. Different placements result in varying degrees of contention for shared resources, so choosing the right placement can have a large ef ...

Information Structure Design in Team Decision Problems

Maryam Kamgarpour, Tyler Summers

We consider a problem of information structure design in team decision problems and team games. We propose simple, scalable greedy algorithms for adding a set of extra information links to optimize team performance and resilience to non-cooperative and adv ...

Valuing quantity flexibility under supply chain disintermediation risk

Isik Bicer

We consider a supply chain with one supplier and one retailer in which the parties develop a quantity flexibility contract to specify the conditions of procurement activities. The contract allows the retailer to adjust the initial order quantity after the ...
