This research empirically examines the relationship between trust and voice, proactive personality and voice, and whether proactive personality moderates the relationship between trust and voice. A total of 105 employees were surveyed using a 14 item instrument to assess the subjects’ responses to the factors under investigation, as well as demographic characteristics. Based on regression analy...

Mobility in a wireless heterogeneous scenario in which the mobile devices are able to connect to more than one access technology available in their vicinity requires a re-consideration of the access network reselection mechanisms as to ensure seamless handovers for real deployments. This paper describes and evaluates a new proactive vertical handover optimization which enables a fast reselectio...

This research paper introduces a scheme to secure any secret value in cloud network by Mobile Proactive Secret Sharing (MPSS). This is an extension of proactive secret sharing, where contributing parties of a network hold the shares of a secret value. Mobile proactive secret sharing is much more flexible than proactive secret sharing in terms of group membership: instead of the group of shareho...

Helping behavior in effective teams is achieved via some overlapping “shared mental models” that are developed and maintained by members of the team. In this paper, we take the perspective that multiparty “proactive” communication is critical for establishing and maintaining such a shared mental model among teammates, which is the basis for agents to offer proactive help and to achieve coherent...

Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is the collection of various mobile nodes which are connected together over a wireless medium having no fixed infrastructure. In recent years, a broad research has been done in the domain of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). Ad hoc routing protocols for MANETs are classified into: proactive, reactive and hybrid approaches. Hybrid routing approach is introduced to ov...

The change detection task has become a standard method for estimating the storage capacity of visual working memory. Most researchers assume that this task isolates the properties of an active short-term storage system that can be dissociated from long-term memory systems. However, long-term memory storage may influence performance on this task. In particular, memory traces from previous trials...

One expression of executive control involves proactive preparation for future events, and this contrasts with stimulus driven reactive control exerted in response to events. Here we describe findings from a response inhibition task, delivered using a smartphone-based platform, that allowed us to index proactive and reactive inhibitory self-control in a large community sample (n = 12,496). Chang...

We propose an active node architecture that supports proactive services able to take into account adaptability to varying conditions and exible supervision by the application or the user. Proactive services are software modules that can be deployed in the network at chosen nodes. Each service processes ows of packets forwarded by a node. A packet lter recognizes some packets according to the in...

This study is to fill up a research gap on examining the differences in normative beliefs (namely acceptance of weaknesses, acceptance of provoked aggression, and acceptance of unprovoked aggression) among different subtypes of aggressors and non-aggressors (reactive aggressors, proactive aggressors, reactive-proactive aggressors, and non-aggressors). 2,236 students (1,372 males and 864 females...

ProActive [2] is a Java library (Source code under GPL license) for parallel, distributed, and concurrent computing, also featuring mobility and security in a uniform framework. ProActive aimed at simplifying the programming of applications that are distributed on Local Area Network (LAN), on cluster of workstations, or large scale Grids. ProActive promotes a strong NoC approach, Network On Shi...
