The ability to mitigate interference is of central importance to cognition. Previous research has provided conflicting accounts about whether operations that resolve interference are singular in character or form a family of functions. Here, the authors examined the relationship between interference-resolution processes acting on working memory representations versus responses. The authors comb...

In a series of three experiments, encoding distinctiveness in a release from proactive inhibition paradigm was investigated as a function of dogmatism. Significant differences in release from proactive inhibition between high and low dogmatic individuals were found for shifts within meaning dimensions (from one end of a dimension to the other end) but not for shifts between different dimensions...

This contribution provides an overview of the German R&D project C-PMSE, which aims to develop a research platform for the evaluation and validation of Cognitive Radio (CR) procedures facilitating an improved coexistence of Program Making and Special Event (PMSE) systems in heterogeneous wireless scenarios. The platform will enable realistic coexistence studies with current and upcoming wireles...

This paper presents an analysis of several topology update strategies for proactive MANET routing protocols. Although there have been a number of performance studies of proactive MANET routing protocols, few attention has been paid to the impacts of topology update strategies on routing performance. The goal of this paper is to better understand how topology update strategies can contribute to ...

The vast majority of the project scheduling research efforts over the past several years have concentrated on the development of workable predictive baseline schedules, assuming complete information and a static and deterministic environment. During execution, however, a project may be subject to numerous schedule disruptions. Proactivereactive project scheduling procedures try to cope with the...

This paper explores the effectiveness of usage control deterrents. Usage control enables finer-grained control over the usage of objects than do traditional access control models. Deterrent controls are intended to discourage individuals from intentionally violating information security policies or procedures. In this context, an adaptation of usage control is assessed as a proactive means of d...

During project execution, especially in a multi-project environment unforeseen events arise that disrupt project plans resulting in deviations of project plans and budgets due to missed due dates and deadlines, resource idleness, higher work-in-process inventory and increased system nervousness. Therefore, project schedules should also include solution robustness to cope with the uncertainties ...

The issue of supporting mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks is recently attracting increasing attention within the research community as new-born application scenarios require the deployment of hybrid network architectures composed of fixed and mobile sensor nodes. In this work, we address the problem of mobility management in WSNs by proposing a tree-based routing protocol able to support mob...
