Ascending Auctions with Package Bidding
, 2001
"... A benchmark "package auction" is introduced in which bidders may determine their own packages on which to bid. If all bidders bid straightforwardly, then the outcome is a point in the core of the exchange economy that minimizes the seller's revenue. When goods are substitutes, straigh ..."

, straightforward bidding strategies comprise an ex post Nash equilibrium. Compared to the Vickrey auction, the benchmark ascending package auction has cheaper information processing, better handling of budget constraints, and less vulnerability to joint bidding strategies among bidders who would otherwise
Towards an Engineering Discipline for GRAMMARWARE
, 2003
"... Grammarware comprises grammars and all grammar-dependent software. The term grammar is meant here in the sense of all established grammar formalisms and grammar notations including context-free grammars, class dictionaries, XML schemas as well as some forms of tree and graph grammars. The term gramm ..."

Practical Relay Networks: A Generalization of Hybrid-ARQ
- IEEE J. SEL. AREAS COMM
, 2005
"... Wireless networks contain an inherent distributed spatial diversity that can be exploited by the use of relaying. Relay networks take advantage of the broadcast-oriented nature of radio and require node-based, rather than link-based protocols. Prior work on relay networks has studied performance li ..."

A Case for Intelligent Disks (IDISKs)
, 1998
"... Decision support systems (DSS) and data warehousing workloads comprise an increasing fraction of the database market today. I/O capacity and associated processing requirements for DSS workloads are increasing at a rapid rate, doubling roughly every nine to twelve months [38]. In response to this inc ..."

SimGrid: a Generic Framework for Large-Scale Distributed Experiments
, 2008
"... Distributed computing is a very broad and active research area comprising fields such as cluster computing, computational grids, desktop grids and peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. Unfortunately, it is often impossible to obtain theoretical or analytical results to compare the performance of algorithms ta ..."

Routing in Delay Tolerant Networks Comprising Heterogeneous Node Populations
"... Communication networks are traditionally assumed to be connected. However, emerging wireless applications such as vehicular networks, pocket-switched networks, etc. coupled with volatile links, node mobility, and power outages, will require the network to operate despite frequent disconnections. To ..."

comprising multiple classes of nodes. We show that proposed solutions, which perform well in homogeneous scenarios, are not as competent in this setting. To this end, we propose a class of routing schemes that can identify the nodes of “highest utility” for routing, improving the delay and delivery ratio
Can cultural competency reduce racial and ethnic health disparities? A review and conceptual model. Med Care Res Rev 2000; 57: S4
"... This article develops a conceptual model of cultural competency’s potential to reduce racial and ethnic health disparities, using the cultural competency and disparities litera-ture to lay the foundation for the model and inform assessments of its validity. The authors identify nine major cultural c ..."

The conceptual model shows how these techniques could theoretically improve the ability of health systems and their clinicians to deliver appropri-ate services to diverse populations, thereby improving outcomes and reducing dispari-ties. The authors conclude that while there is substantial
Theme 2 comprises three Research Units and ten Work Packages:
"... Very small organisms in the ocean have big effects on the planet, influencing atmospheric composition and the global cycles of many elements. This Theme will study the role of marine phytoplankton and other microbes in relation to biogenic gas production and the flux of material to the deep ocean. I ..."
