Cooperation and Punishment in Public Goods Experiments
- AMERICAN ECONOMIC REVIEW
, 2000
"... This paper provides evidence that free riders are heavily punished even if punishment is costly and does not provide any material benefits for the punisher. The more free riders negatively deviate from the group standard the more they are punished. As a consequence, the existence of an opportunity f ..."

of rationality and selfishness, there should be no cooperation at all. We also show that free riding causes strong negative emotions among cooperators. The intensity of these emotions is the stronger the more the free riders deviate from the group standard. Our results provide, therefore, support
Distributed space-time-coded protocols for exploiting cooperative diversity in wireless networks
- IEEE TRANS. INF. THEORY
, 2003
"... We develop and analyze space–time coded cooperative diversity protocols for combating multipath fading across multiple protocol layers in a wireless network. The protocols exploit spatial diversity available among a collection of distributed terminals that relay messages for one another in such a m ..."

Collaborative plans for complex group action
, 1996
"... The original formulation of SharedPlans by B. Grosz and C. Sidner ( 1990) was developed to provide a model of collaborative planning in which it was not necessary for one agent to have intentions-to toward an act of a different agent. Unlike other contemporaneous approaches (J.R. Searle, 1990), this ..."

agent has only partial knowledge; this reformulation meshes with the definition of SharedPlans. The new definitions also allow for contracting out certain actions. The formalization that results has the features required by Bratrnan’s ( 1992) account of shared cooperative activity and is more general

The CONSORT statement: revised recommendations for improving the quality of reports of parallel-group randomized trials,”
- Journal of the American Medical Association,
, 1987
"... To comprehend the results of a randomized, controlled trial (RCT), readers must understand its design, conduct, analysis, and interpretation. That goal can be achieved only through complete transparency from authors. Despite several decades of educational efforts, the reporting of RCTs needs improv ..."

Ariadne: a secure on-demand routing protocol for ad hoc networks," in
- Proc. 8th ACM International Conf. Mobile Computing Networking ,

"... Abstract An ad hoc network is a group of wireless mobile computers (or nodes), in which individual nodes cooperate by forwarding packets for each other to allow nodes to communicate beyond direct wireless transmission range. Prior research in ad hoc networking has generally studied the routing prob ..."

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

A number of special features of the model are discussed (including its use as a basis for the diagnosis of jobs and the evaluation of job redesign projects), and the model is compared to other theories of job design. Work redesign is becoming

Knowledge and Common Knowledge in a Distributed Environment
- Journal of the ACM

Indeed, such reasoning is a central part of the informal intuitive arguments used in the design of distributed protocols. Communication in a distributed system can be viewed as the act of transforming the system&apo ..."

We argue that states of knowledge of groups of processors are useful concepts for the design and analysis of distributed protocols. In particular, distributed knowledge
NiagaraCQ: A Scalable Continuous Query System for Internet Databases
- In SIGMOD
, 2000
"... Continuous queries are persistent queries that allow users to receive new results when they become available. While continuous query systems can transform a passive web into an active environment, they need to be able to support millions of queries due to the scale of the Internet. No existing syste ..."

systems have achieved this level of scalability. NiagaraCQ addresses this problem by grouping continuous queries based on the observation that many web queries share similar structures. Grouped queries can share the common computation, tend to fit in memory and can reduce the I/O cost significantly
