Law and finance
- Journal of Political Economy
, 1998
"... This paper examines legal rules covering protection of corporate shareholders and creditors, the origin of these rules, and the qual-ity of their enforcement in 49 countries. The results show that common-law countries generally have the strongest, and French-civil-law countries the weakest, legal pr ..."

-holders are unlikely to be important in countries that fail to protect their rights. I. Overview of the Issues In the traditional finance of Modigliani and Miller (1958), securities are recognized by their cash flows. For example, debt has a fixed promised stream of interest payments, whereas equity entitles its
Equation-based congestion control for unicast applications
- SIGCOMM '00
, 2000
"... This paper proposes a mechanism for equation-based congestion control for unicast traffic. Most best-effort traffic in the current Internet is well-served by the dominant transport protocol, TCP. However, traffic such as best-effort unicast streaming multimedia could find use for a TCP-friendly cong ..."

Habitat monitoring: application driver for wireless communications technology
- In ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Data Communications in Latin America and the Caribbean
, 2001
"... lecs.cs.ucla.edu As new fabrication and integration technologies reduce the cost and size of micro-sensors and wireless interfaces, it becomes feasible to deploy densely distributed wireless networks of sensors and actuators. These systems promise to revolutionize biological, earth, and environmenta ..."

PROMISE: Peer-to-Peer Media Streaming Using CollectCast
, 2003
"... We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of PROMISE, a novel peer-to-peer media streaming system encompassing the key functions of peer lookup, peer-based aggregated streaming, and dynamic adaptations to network and peer conditions. Particularly, PROMISE is based on a new application l ..."

The virtual customer
, 2002
"... Communication and information technologies are adding new capabilities for rapid and inexpensive customer input to all stages of the product development (PD) process. In this article we review six web-based methods of customer input as examples of the improved Internet capabilities of communication, ..."

A Peer-to-Peer Architecture for Media Streaming
, 2003
"... We have witnessed the success of peer-to-peer (P2P) applications in both commercial and research fields. However, a practical application has received little attention to date: media streaming. Given the fact that the current Internet does not support IP Multicast while content-distribution-networks ..."

-distribution-networks technologies are costly, P2P could be a promising start for enabling large-scale streaming systems. In our so-called Zigzag approach, we propose a method for clustering peers into a hierarchy called the administrative organization for easy management, and a method for building the multicast tree atop
An Infrastructure for Adaptive Dynamic Optimization
, 2003
"... Dynamic optimization is emerging as a promising approach to overcome many of the obstacles of traditional static compilation. But while there are a number of compiler infrastructures for developing static optimizations, there are very few for developing dynamic optimizations. We present a framework ..."

Dynamic hot data stream prefetching for general-purpose programs
- InACM SIGPLANConference on Programming Language Designand Implementation
, 2002
"... Prefetching data ahead of use has the potential to tolerate the growing processor-memory performance gap by overlapping long latency memory accesses with useful computation. While sophisticated prefetching techniques have been automated for limited domains, such as scientific codes that access dense ..."

Then, the system dynamically injects code at appropriate program points to detect and prefetch these hot data streams. Finally
Recent advances in the automatic recognition of audiovisual speech

Scalability via summaries: Stream query processing using promising tuples
, 2005
"... In many data streaming applications, streams may contain data tuples that are either redundant, repetitive, or that are not “interesting” to any of the standing continuous queries. Processing such tuples may waste system resources without producing useful answers. To the contrary, some other tuples ..."

can be categorized as promising. This paper proposes that stream query engines can have the option to execute on promising tuples only and not on all tuples. We propose to maintain intermediate stream summaries and indices that can direct the stream query engine to detect and operate on promising
