Mobile edge computing (MEC) is a new paradigm that provides cloud services at the of networks. To achieve better performance with limited resources, peer offloading between cooperative servers (e.g. MEC- enabled base stations) has been proposed as an effective technique to handle bursty and spatially imbalanced arrival computation tasks. While various metrics policies have considered in literat...

This paper offers a scalable and robust distributed algorithm for decision tree induction in large Peer-to-Peer (P2P) environments. Computing a decision tree in such large distributed systems using standard centralized algorithms can be very communication-expensive and impractical because of the synchronization requirements. The problem becomes even more challenging in the distributed stream mo...

The present study examined the predictive validity of the Social Anxiety Scale for Children-Revised (SASC-R) by investigating associations between children's social anxiety symptoms and their cognitive and behavioral reactions in response to an in vivo peer evaluation manipulation. Participants (N=115) ages 10-13, played a computer game based on the television show Survivor and were randomized ...

Classroom response systems (CRSs) have proven to turn students into active participants in lectures. Thus, these systems help to improve the students’ learning performance in traditional head-on lectures. Peer Instruction is a teaching and learning approach that makes very specific use of Classroom Response Systems elements: similar to the ask-the-audience lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Milliona...

Adolescents exposed to hurricanes may be at risk to develop symptoms of internalizing disorders. The impact of hurricane exposure on peer systems may contribute to the emergence of symptoms of internalizing disorders. This study examined the influence of peer system variables in the development of internalizing disorder symptoms in adolescents exposed to Hurricane Georges. Participants included...
