Estimating strategic interactions in petroleum exploration

When individual petroleum-producing firms make their exploration decisions, information externalities and extraction externalities may lead them to interact strategically with their neighbors. If they do occur, strategic interactions in exploration would lead to a loss in both firm profit and government royalty revenue. Since these strategic interactions would be inefficient, changes in the gov...

Strategic exploration in human adaptive control

How do people explore in order to gain rewards in uncertain dynamical systems? Within a reinforcement learning paradigm, control normally involves trading off between exploration (i.e. trying out actions in order to gain more knowledge about the system) and exploitation (i.e. using current knowledge of the system to maximize reward). We study a novel control task in which participants must stee...

Preemption and MACsec replay protection Preemption and MACsec replay protection

Mick Seaman Use of the proposed IEEE 802.3 Ethernet frame preemption capability could result in frame reordering. Without a change in the MACsec specification (IEEE Std 802.1AE) or in the way it is used it would not be possible to use MACsec to provide strict replay protection. This note has been revised to detail the use of multiple SCs1 per port, following the 802.1 Security Task Group discus...
