An active Web cluster system is an active network that has a collection of locally distributed servers that are interconnected by active switches, providing a Web application service. In this paper, we introduce the ALBM (Adaptive Load Balancing and Management) active cluster system that provides proactive management. The architecture of the ALBM active cluster and its underlying components are...

This study tested whether proactive and reactive aggression were differently predictive of later externalizing problems such as delinquency and DSM-related disruptive behaviors (i.e. oppositional defiant and conduct disorders). It also tested whether these two subtypes of aggressive behaviors interacted in predicting externalizing problems. A community sample of low SES boys participated in the...

This work describes the effort to join two different approaches about the development of the Proactive Network Management. The first approach was developed in the Laboratory of Network and Management, at Federal University of Santa Catarina [2][3][4], which uses remote monitoring and simulation tools. And the second one, was developed in the National Supercomputing Center [9][10], which handles...

Abstract: People are very good at learning from instructions. Whenever a person receives a novel instruction, she can proactively build a plan in her head and then execute it with a very high accuracy. This proactive planning strategy gets faster over time. Here we test whether training people on proactive strategies will improve their abilities on other tasks that benefit from proactive approa...

While significant heritability for childhood aggression has been claimed, it is not known whether there are differential genetic and environmental contributions to proactive and reactive forms of aggression in children. This study quantifies genetic and environmental contributions to these two forms of aggression in an ethnically diverse urban sample of 9-10 year old twins (N = 1219), and compa...

Previous proactivity research has predominantly assumed that proactive personality generates positive environmental changes in the workplace. Grounded in recent research on personality development from a broad interactionist theoretical approach, the present article investigates whether work characteristics, including job demands, job control, social support from supervisors and coworkers, and ...
