Reliable Multicast Transport Protocol (RMTP)
"... This paper presents the design, implementation and performance of a reliable multicast transport protocol called RMTP. RMTP is based on a hierarchical structure in which receivers are grouped into local regions or domains and in each domain there is a special receiver called a Designated Receiver (D ..."

A comparison of mechanisms for improving TCP performance over wireless links
- IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING
, 1997
"... Reliable transport protocols such as TCP are tuned to perform well in traditional networks where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion. However, networks with wireless and other lossy links also suffer from significant losses due to bit errors and handoffs. TCP responds to all losses by i ..."

Trade Liberalization, Exit, and Productivity Improvements: Evidence from Chilean Plants
- Review of Economic Studies
, 2002
"... This paper empirically investigates the effects of liberalized trade on plant productivity in the case of Chile. Chile presents an interesting setting to study this relationship since it underwent a massive trade liberalization that significantly exposed its plants to competition from abroad during ..."

in the estimates of the input coefficients required to construct a productivity measure. I explicitly incorporate plant exit in the estimation to correct for the selection problem induced by liquidated plants. These methodological aspects are important in obtaining a reliable plant-level productivity measure based
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 ..."

improvement. Investigators and editors developed the original CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) statement to help authors improve reporting by using a checklist and flow diagram. The revised CONSORT statement presented in this paper incorporates new evidence and addresses some criticisms
Applying design by contract
- IEEE Computer
, 1992
"... Reliability is even more important in object-oriented programming than elsewhere. This article shows how to reduce bugs by building software components on the basis of carefully designed contracts. 40 s object-oriented techniques steadily gain ground in the world of software development. users and p ..."

Signal recovery from random measurements via Orthogonal Matching Pursuit
- IEEE TRANS. INFORM. THEORY
, 2007
"... This technical report demonstrates theoretically and empirically that a greedy algorithm called Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) can reliably recover a signal with m nonzero entries in dimension d given O(m ln d) random linear measurements of that signal. This is a massive improvement over previous ..."

Base-calling of automated sequencer traces using phred. I. Accuracy Assessment
- GENOME RES
, 1998
"... The availability of massive amounts of DNA sequence information has begun to revolutionize the practice of biology. As a result, current large-scale sequencing output, while impressive, is not adequate to keep pace with growing demand and, in particular, is far short of what will be required to obta ..."

Here, we describe one step toward that goal: a base-calling program for automated sequencer traces, phred, with improved
Cognitive Radio: Brain-Empowered Wireless Communications

No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering
- IEEE Computer
, 1987
"... Of all the monsters that fill the nightmares of our folklore, none terrify more than werewolves, because they transform unexpectedly from the familiar into horrors. For these, one seeks bullets of silver that can magically lay them to rest. The familiar software project, at least as seen by the nont ..."

There is no single development, in either technology or in management technique, that by itself promises even one order-of-magnitude improvement in productivity, in reliability, in simplicity. In this article, I shall
