The qualitative data were analyzed, in which the attributed causes of classroom misbehavior were categorized into student, family, school and peer factor...

Word of mouth (WOM) and observational learning (OL), as two types of social interaction, have been generally studied by researchers. And they have significant impacts on consumers’ purchase decision. However, few researches pay attention to their influences on online misbehavior. In this paper, we respectively examined the effect of these variables on consumers’ misbehavior.

Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Networks (VDTNs) are composed of mobile nodes that communicate wirelessly with each other to forward data despite connectivity issues. This paper focuses on the problem of some nodes trying to impair the communication of a VDTN. In the paper we study the case of nodes that delay the forwarding of messages that is a particularly difficult to detect form of misbehavior. W...

We propose and evaluate an immuno-inspired approach to misbehavior detection in ad hoc wireless networks. Node misbehavior can be the result of an intrusion, or a software or hardware failure. Our approach is motivated by co-stimulatory signals present in the Biological immune system. The results show that co-stimulation in ad hoc wireless networks can both substantially improve energy efficien...
