Imposing The Desired Behavior On A Chaotic System
, 1995
"... We discuss a new strategy which allows one to drive a chaotic system in such a way that it exhibits some desired behavior. The imposed behavior can be a harmonic or other kind of signal, including a chaotic one produced by another chaotic system. The method is based on the idea of synchronization of ..."

Optimal Proof Burdens, Deterrence, and the Chilling of Desirable Behavior
"... Determination of the stringency of the burden of proof is a central design question in any system of adjudication, including in many private settings (employee promotion and firing, product launches). Prior work oriented towards ex ante behavior focuses on deterrence, using models in which individua ..."

act. Such analysis, however, omits a central concern with the mistaken imposition of sanctions: that the prospect of such errors will chill desirable behavior. In competition law, efficient, procompetitive behavior (e.g., promotional pricing) may be discouraged; with securities regulation, the cost
The “What” and “Why” of Goal Pursuits: Human Needs and the Self-Determination of Behavior
, 2000
"... Self-determination theory (SDT) maintains that an understanding of human motiva-tion requires a consideration of innate psychological needs for competence, auton-omy, and relatedness. We discuss the SDT concept of needs as it relates to previous need theories, emphasizing that needs specify the nece ..."

A Highly Adaptive Distributed Routing Algorithm for Mobile Wireless Networks
, 1997
"... We present a new distributed routing protocol for mobile, multihop, wireless networks. The protocol is one of a family of protocols which we term "link reversal" algorithms. The protocol's reaction is structured as a temporally-ordered sequence of diffusing computations; each computat ..."

A computational approach to edge detection
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE
, 1986
"... This paper describes a computational approach to edge detection. The success of the approach depends on the definition of a comprehensive set of goals for the computation of edge points. These goals must be precise enough to delimit the desired behavior of the detector while making minimal assumpti ..."

Social force model for pedestrian dynamics
- Physical Review E
, 1995
"... It is suggested that the motion of pedestrians can be described as if they would be subject to ‘social forces’. These ‘forces ’ are not directly exerted by the pedestrians ’ personal environment, but they are a measure for the internal motivations of the individuals to perform certain actions (movem ..."

In the presented model of pedestrian behavior several force terms are essential: First, a term describing the acceleration towards the desired velocity of motion. Second
Risk as Feelings
, 2001
"... Virtually all current theories of choice under risk or uncertainty are cognitive and consequentialist. They assume that people assess the desirability and likelihood of possible outcomes of choice alternatives and integrate this information through some type of expectation-based calculus to arrive a ..."

Next century challenges: Scalable coordination in sensor networks
, 1999
"... Networked sensors-those that coordinate amongst them-selves to achieve a larger sensing task-will revolutionize information gathering and processing both in urban environments and in inhospitable terrain. The sheer numbers of these sensors and the expected dynamics in these environments present uniq ..."

Are investors reluctant to realize their losses
- Journal of Finance
, 1998

I test the disposition effect, the tendency of investors to hold losing investments too long and sell winning investments too soon, by analyzing trading records for 10,000 accounts at a large discount brokerage house. These investors demonstrate a strong preference for realizing winners rather than ..."

Loopy belief propagation for approximate inference: An empirical study. In:
- Proceedings of Uncertainty in AI,
, 1999
"... Abstract Recently, researchers have demonstrated that "loopy belief propagation" -the use of Pearl's polytree algorithm in a Bayesian network with loops -can perform well in the context of error-correcting codes. The most dramatic instance of this is the near Shannon-limit performanc ..."
