Opinion: Reproducible research can still be wrong: Adopting a prevention approach

Opinion: Reproducible research can still be wrong: adopting a prevention approach.

Reproducibility – the ability to recompute results – and replicability – the chances other experimenters will achieve a consistent result – are two foundational characteristics of successful scientific research. Consistent findings from independent investigators are the primary means by which scientific evidence accumulates for or against an hypothesis. And yet, of late there has been a crisis ...

Reproducible Research: a Dissenting Opinion

Reproducible Research, the de facto title of a growing movement within many scientific fields, would require the code, used to generate the experimental results, be published along with any paper. Probably the most compelling argument for this is that it is simply following good scientific practice, established over the years by the greats of science. It is further claimed that misconduct is ca...

SNMPv3 Can Still be Simple?

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) was introduced in 1988. The initial version (SNMPV1) is still widely implemented, deployed, and used. SNMFV3is now in its final stages of standardization. SNMTV3 allows new capabilities for open, interoperable, and secure management on the Internet environment, SNMF’V3builds on SNMPvl and V2 to include methods for security (authentication, encryptio...

Students Can ’ t Be Wrong ! GamesCrafters , a Computational Game Theory Undergraduate Research and Development Group

The UC Berkeley GamesCrafters research and development group was formed in 2001 as a “watering hole” to gather and engage top undergraduates as they explore the fertile area of computational game theory. At the core of the project is GAMESMAN, an open-source AI architecture developed for solving, playing and analyzing two-person, abstract strategy games (e.g., Tic-Tac-Toe or Chess). The group i...
